Summary
This advanced 3D visualization system enhances liver surgery planning by improving anatomical understanding and tumor localization. It aids surgeons in pre-operative decision-making, risk assessment, and identifying vascular anomalies for safer procedures.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Surgical Technology
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
Background:
- Conventional 3D CT reconstruction systems have limitations in detailed anatomical visualization for complex liver surgeries.
- Accurate pre-operative planning is crucial for successful liver resection and minimizing complications.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical merits of an advanced three-dimensional (3D) body visible system in liver surgery.
- To compare its advantages over traditional 3D CT reconstruction techniques.
Main Methods:
- Clinical application of the 3D body visible system in liver surgery.
- Utilizing the system's capabilities for liver anatomy visualization (Couinaud classification), tumor localization, and surgical simulation.
- Assessing the system's ability to identify vascular and biliary anomalies.
Main Results:
- The system supports Couinaud liver anatomy classification with rotational and transparency features, enhancing learning and visualization of internal structures.
- It accurately localizes liver tumors within specific segments.
- Facilitates individualized surgical planning, difficulty estimation, risk assessment via simulated hepatectomy, and identification of vascular/biliary anomalies, improving operational safety.
Conclusions:
- The 3D body visible system offers significant improvements over conventional 3D CT reconstruction for liver surgery.
- It is particularly beneficial for inexperienced surgeons, enhancing anatomical understanding and procedural safety.
