Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The spleen has 3 distinct borders: superior, inferior, and intermediate. The superior border of the spleen has a notch on the anterior end. The spleen has 2 surfaces, the visceral and diaphragmatic. The latter surface is convex and smooth, whereas the former surface is concave and irregular with several imprints.
Detailed explanation-2: -The notch on its anterior border aids in identifying the spleen and differ-entiating it from other abdominal organs [4, 15]. If splenomegaly occurs in unnotched spleens, surgeons may misdiagnose it as renal swelling on left coastal margin.
