I have been diagnosed with a Kidney haematoma from a CAT scan which they say has reached the limit.

What does the surgery entail and are there alternatives not to have the surgery?

Surgery will remove the blood collection and will tie the blood vessel that bleed. If blood collection grows or is too big surgery has no alternative.
