Hi there,
looking to find out if others have been told they have a haematoma post nephrectomy. My surgery was in April 2023 and it was a large tumour - 17cm by 16cm by 11cm.
I had my 6 months ct scan in November and was told there is a haematoma where the tumour was. Does this go away on its own? Are there any complications? Can this cause stomach swelling?
if anyone has any history/experience of this I would be really grateful to hear from you.
Many thanks
