How dangerous is spleen injury?

The spleen is located on the left side of our body, in the upper part of the stomach. It works to strengthen the body’s immune system and filter the blood. When a person receives a forceful injury to the abdomen, whether due to a road accident, a fall during sports, or an accident in an action scene, the spleen may burst or crack. This condition is called spleen laceration. If the injury is mild, it gets cured in a few days with rest and medicine, but if the injury is deep, internal bleeding may start, which can also prove fatal.
