Three-Dimensional Reconstruction Of Renal Vascular Tumor Anatomy To Facilitate Accurate Preoperative Planning Of Partial Nephrectomy, Chien-Heng Lin
BioMedicine
Objectives: To evaluate the role of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction tumors and vessels of the kidneys in aiding the preoperative planning of partial nephrectomy.
Materials and Methods: Patients with renal tumors to be treated with partial nephrectomy were included. Each patient underwent a preoperative computed tomography (CT) survey, and the reconstruction of each patient’s 3D arteriography and 3D surface-rendered tumor was performed based on the CT images for preoperative surgical planning.
Results: A total of 6 patients, three with tumors of the right kidney and three with tumors of the left kidney, were enrolled in the study. The patients’ mean age …
