Alterations in the CT image following retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy in 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.
