Computer-assisted intraoperative 3D-navigation for liver surgery: a prospective randomized-controlled pilot study

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver surgery is the standard of care for primary and many secondary liver tumors. Due to variability and complexity in liver anatomy preoperative imaging is necessary to determine resectability and for planning the surgical strategy. In the last few years, computer-assisted resection planning has been introduced in liver surgery. Aim of this trial was the evaluation of computer-assisted three-dimensional (3D)-navigation for liver surgery.

Methods

This study was a prospective randomized-controlled pilot trial and patients were randomized in navigated or non-navigated group. Primary end point was the quotient of intraoperative resected volume and planned resection volume. Secondary end points included operation time, resection margin and postoperative complicati
