How many hours is spleen surgery?
The surgeon makes a large incision on your abdomen (below the rib cage and above the belly button). The incision is closed with stiches or staples and covered with a dressing. The surgery usually takes about 3 to 5 hours, but may take longer. Plan to be in the hospital for about 4 to 7 days.
