How To Cure Hematoma With Kidney Blockage?
I had a robotic partial hysterectomy on 04/30. Two week later I was in the ER with a hematoma and blocked kidney. The hematoma is still causing pain almost two months after the surgery. I also have a stent placed to unblock the urethra and some back pain. How long does the hematoma clear and are there chances that it might end up as an infection?

Hello
Thanks for query.
You have undergone robotic surgery of Hysterectomy following which you developed hematoma in the abdomen which blocked the ureter resulting into developing hydronephrosis of the kidney.
The D.J stent has been placed to decompress the kidney and will remain there for 4-6 weeks ,by this time hematoma will get absorbed .
Take prophylactic antibiotic like Augmentin twice daily to prevent hematoma from getting infected .
