I suffered a splenetic infarct and now there is no blood flow to the spleen and the lower half of my spleen is necrotic (dead tissue). My doctor says it HAS to come out. I am afraid to do that as I had a very serious case of MRSA last year and spent 2 weeks in hospital and then 6 weeks in a nursing home getting well. since the main function of the spleen is to help prevent infections, will it be safe for me to have this surgery. I am in a lot of pain. Thank you, Judie
My Spleen as a anuresm 1.5 ! Is this dangerous Or be more dangerous in removing
