Initial experiences with preoperative three-dimensional image reconstruction technology in laparoscopic pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To explore the clinical value of three-dimensional image reconstruction technology (3DIT) on preoperative surgical planning and perioperative outcomes in laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP).

Methods

Data of 25 patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 was analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent preoperative enhanced computed tomography (CT) scanning. In the 12 cases in the 3DIT group, preoperative planning involved the use of virtual operation and morphometry based on reconstruction of the CT data into three-dimensional (3D) images. Surgery in the other 13 cases was performed with traditional CT examination. Demographic, surgical outcome, and postoperative parameters were compared between
