Patient-specific virtual three-dimensional surgical navigation for gastric cancer surgery: A prospective study for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Abdominal computed tomography (CT) can accurately demonstrate organs and vascular structures around the stomach, and its potential role for image guidance is becoming increasingly established. However, solely using two-dimensional CT images to identify critical anatomical structures is undeniably challenging and not surgeon-friendly. To validate the feasibility of a patient-specific 3-D surgical navigation system for preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance during robotic gastric cancer surgery.

Materials and methods

A prospective single-arm open-label observational study was conducted. Thirty participants underwent robotic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer using a virtual surgical navigation system that provides patient-specific 3-D anatomical info
