Prospective observational non-randomized trial protocol for surgical planner 3D image processing & reconstruction for locally advanced colon cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Colon cancer presents significant surgical challenges that necessitate the development of precise strategies. Standardization with complete mesocolic excision (CME) is common, but some cases require extended resections. This study investigates the use of 3D Image Processing and Reconstruction (3D-IPR) to improve diagnostic accuracy in locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) with suspected infiltration and achieve R0 surgery.

Methods

Single-center, prospective, observational, comparative, non-randomized study. •Participants: Patients aged > 18 years undergoing LACC surgery, as indicated by CT scans, confirmed via colonoscopy. Exclusion criteria include neoadjuvant therapy, suspected carcinomatosis on CT, and unresectable tumors. •Interventions: 3D-IPR models are use
