A member asked:
Is surgery always necessary for a kidney nodule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really. If you use the term nodule which is usually a small solid renal mass less than 2 cm in diameter, you can choose observation especially if you ask this question for yourself. Please discuss thoroughly with a urologist.
