Hi cdzon. Unfortunately removed spleens do not grow back. The spleen is an important part of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system fights of infections. You can learn more about the spleen by following this link. It is my first hyperlink, so I don't know if it will work. Brittanica If you have any more questions, you can email me at physicalscience@mad.scientist.com.
