Your spleen is a small organ located on the left side of your abdomen, under the rib cage. This organ is part of your immune system and helps to fight infections and to filter damaged and old cells out of your bloodstream. If your spleen needs to be removed, you will have a surgery called a splenectomy.Most commonly, the surgery is done to remove a spleen that is damaged from injury, but other reasons for its removal include infection, an enlarged spleen, or the presence of tumors.our doctor will probably give you vaccines against certain viruses because the removal of the spleen weakens your immune system. You may also need to receive a blood transfusion to ensure that you have enough platelets and red blood cells to endure the surgery and its accompanying blood loss.
