It depends on size: And location of injury and amount of bleeding and associated injuries, but usually between 3 and 7 days. Ask your surgeon to get specific details.

5-10 days: For a ruptured spleen your doctors will make sure no bleeding occurs. Next you need to be able to eat food and hold it down. They should have removed your ng tube by now. You may have staples in your skin. Those stay in until follow up. Be well and always wear your seat belt.
