Alterations in the CT Image following Retroperitoneal Lymphadenectomy in Early Stage Non-Seminomatous Testicular Tumor

Abstract

CT was performed before and after lymphadenectomy in 105 patients with early stage non-seminomatous testicular tumor. Retroperitoneal blurring and retracted bowel were the most common findings and might cause interpretation problems. A reference CT making future comparison possible should be routinely performed two months after the operation.
