Hello all
I have recently had a robotic partial nephrectomy operation which was thankfully successful and have been given the all clear and I am eternally grateful to the amazing surgeons that saved my life.
The operation has left me with something called a flank bulge , which is a ball shaped lump on the left side of my abdomen near the incision scars
Has anyone else experienced this ? The hospital has said it will probably go away but further research suggests it's permanent.
If it is permanent, it will obviously be something I will have to get used to (no more Mr universe competitions haha ). And is certainly preferable to the alternative.
But i just wondered if anyone else has had the same ?
