The presence of retroperitoneal or peritoneal effusion was rarely seen (n = 4\/25 during the short term and n = 1\/14 during the long term). Hyperechogenicity of the perirenal adipose tissue decreased in the long term. A statistically significant decrease in the width of the renal pelvis was noted in the short- (2.4 mm, range 0\u20137.0 mm) and long-term (1.7 mm, range 0\u20133.5 mm) follow-ups compared with the preoperative value (11.7 mm, range 0.9\u201341 mm).
