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 

  • There's always 111 I guess?? Again, A&E...but...we all know what that's like. Soon after I came home after my operation I had a "turn" and went to A&E. 12 hours later I was seen and bluelighted to Charing Cross. Longest 12 hours of my life.
