A member asked:
When a spleen is rupture can it grow back and become a normal spleen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: Was the spleen removed with surgery or did the ruptured spleen heal on its own? If removed it will not grow back, but small chance if there were any pieces of residual spleen that small pieces may grow. If the spleen ruptured & healed on its own then there is no change to the spleen.
