Three-dimensional visualization techniques improve surgical Decision Making of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complete preoperative comprehension of the adjacent structures of the kidney and location of renal vessels is essential for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). The effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) visualization techniques in improving perioperative outcomes of RAPN has been inconsistent and has not been reported in Northeastern China.

Methods

In this cohort study, we reviewed patients with renal tumours who underwent RAPN between April 2019 and April 2024. Three-dimensional visualization models were reconstructed to evaluate resectability parameters, including vascular variations, collection system infiltration, and lymphatic involvement. Subsequently, a meta-analysis combining previous studies utilising 3D visualization techniques for partial nephre
