A member asked:
How much time is surgery for a ruptured spleen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quickly, usually: If that is the only organ injured and the determination is that it must be removed, it takes about 1/2 hour to remove it in a normal sized person. In the seriously obese, it may take longer. The presence of other abdominal injuries changes the ball game entirely.
