whats the life expectcy after surgery

Life expectancy after spleen surgery depends mostly on what the mass is. If it is benign, he may do better after recovery; if it is hemangiosarcoma, surgery often buys weeks to a few months rather than a cure .

Key estimates

• For mixed splenic masses, one study reported an overall median survival time of 647 days, but this includes different diagnoses and outcomes varied widely from 0 to 3,287 days .

• For splenic hemangiosarcoma, prognosis is much poorer; one source reports median survival with surgery alone around 19–86 days, with 1-year survival around 6%–12% .

• In dogs with stage I or II splenic hemangiosarcoma treated with splenectomy alone, one study looked at dogs that survived the first 7 days after surgery and reported median survival for that group, but the available snippet does not provide the exact number .
