A member asked:
Can your spleen grow back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's happened!: One person in four has one or more miniature spleens. After therapeutic splenectomy, they regrow sometimes as big as the original, frustrating the surgeon -- or if the spleen is removed because of accidental injury, it's good news.
