The spleen is located in the upper left side of the abdomen, in the intraperitoneal space. It is partially covered by the greater omentum and is surrounded by peritoneum, which helps to support and protect the organ. However, unlike other intraperitoneal organs, the spleen is not suspended by a mesentery.
