It depends on the underlying Cause of his condition. Let the Hematologist /surgeon decide on surgery, consult them in persin and discuss the need for surgery.
Cost of surgery depends on whether it's laparoscopic or open surgery. It may cost from 1-1.5 lakhs or even more depending on the centre. But remember Splenectomy is a major surgery.
