Mean age of the patients was 51.3±12.7years. Mean perirenal fat dissection time was 15.0±13.5min. Patient demographics, BMI, nor occupational status differed between the 3 complexity of perirenal fat dissection groups. Radiological findings showed that there was a significant correlation between perirenal fat depth and complexity of perirenal fat dissection(p<0.05), but not with HU measurements or subcutaneous fat thickness. Surgeon classification of the complexity of perirenal fat dissection was in accordance with the duration of dissection(p<0.05). Perinephric fat contained more fibrous tissue in the patients with histologically proven APF than in those without(p<0.05).
