Phase 1
Purpose:
Partial nephrectomies to remove renal masses are kidney-sparing procedures that rely on anatomical comprehension. Prior research demonstrates complex and expensive 3D models (~$1000) increased surgeons’ confidence in selecting their operative plan. We aim to use simpler and cheaper 3D models to improve preoperative surgeon confidence and support operative management.
Methods:
3D printed models (~$35) of the affected kidney, mass, and renal vasculature were created using preoperative CT or MRI imaging of 17 patients presenting for partial nephrectomies at Thomas Jefferson University (TJU) between July and December 2020. The models were created at TJU using Ultimaker technology.

Phase 1
Purpose:
3D printing is a growing tool in surgical education with the ability to visualize and teach complex procedures from multiple angles. Previous studies demonstrated 3D models as useful teaching tools for partial nephrectomy for patient and trainee education. We aim to create a cheaper and simpler 3D model to encourage these learning opportunities.
Methods:
Patient-specific, cost-effective ($35) 3D models of the affected urologic structures were created using preoperative imaging of 17 patients undergoing partial nephrectomies at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital between July and December 2020.
Patients receiving the surgery filled out two surveys about their understanding of …
