Researchers want to understand how your spleen filters blood cells and responds to disease. When you have spleen surgery as part of your medical care, this study asks if you'll allow them to collect your spleen tissue and blood samples after the operation. These samples will help scientists study how the spleen works in health and disease, and may lead to new treatments.
The spleen plays an important role in fighting infection and managing blood cell disorders, but doctors still don't fully understand how it works. By studying spleen tissue directly from patients undergoing surgery, researchers hope to discover new ways to help treat blood diseases and improve how we use the spleen's natural abilities to heal.

If you join, your doctors will collect your spleen tissue and blood samples during or immediately after your planned surgery — this doesn't add any extra procedures to your care. Your samples will be studied in the laboratory to understand how the spleen filters abnormal cells and responds to disease. You won't need to return for extra visits; participation is a one-time donation that happens alongside your regular surgical care.
