Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
To my knowledge,it's a private hospital. You can always ask at reception.
Has he seen an older scan,to notice it doubling in size.?
Doubling seen on CT scan,may be due to tumor.Ask him what he suspects ?
If there's a full fledged operation theatre,then only major surgery is done.
Kidney surgery is done by laporoscopy routinely.Open surgery isn't done.
In govt.hospitals,there're no charges for services.In private hospitals,it varies in each.All doubts may be cleared, by sending a direct question to me .Dr.Matthew J. Mangat.
