After a splenectomy how long will i need to stay in the hospital?

2-5 days: It depends on whether the operation is performed via minimally invasive surgery (2-3 days) or via traditional "open" surgery (4-5 days). Of course, these are just averages, and situations can arise that may delay discharge.

Depends: If it is done laparoscopically, once your pain is controlled and you can eat, you can go home (usually 2-3 days).
