it is possible to have surgery on a spleen, you can also have your spleen removed but only if its due to something serious, like a blood disorder etc.......the main 2 organs to ever get removed from humans is the appendix (appendicitis) and the gallbladder (mainly due to gallstones)

White gums are a sign of internal bleeding. If his spleen ruptured he might have bled to death so quickly that there was no time to react to save him.
