Need more info: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your white cell count is in the normal range.
Wish you good health!

Best: Would be to follow up following surgery with your GP or primary care doc who should have access to your results and history and be able to interpret them in the right context. Suspect your WBC was 9.1 or 9100 which will be normal and not 91000 that will be unusually high. An enlarged spleen is not always abnormal and may be transient.
