Scotland backs Thom Evans and Chris Paterson will remain in University Hospital Cardiff today following injuries they sustained in yesterday's 6 Nations Championship match against Wales.
Scotland team doctor James Robson said today: "The surgery that Thom required - having sustained damage to his neck - went well.
"He will remain at the hospital today and if he continues to progress he will be allowed to travel back to Scotland into the care of the Glasgow Warriors medical team later this week.
"In effect he has a massive bruise in the middle of his kidney but that will gradually repair itself and the medical team are also pleased with his progress."
In Paterson's case he could be out of action for up to ten weeks.
Another Scotland back, Rory Lamont, will also be monitored by medical staff after suffering knee ligament damage in yesterday's game.
