Abstract:Objective: To investigate the clinical application value of three-dimensional reconstruction virtual surgical planning technology in zero ischemia laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for cT1b stage renal tumors. Methods: The clinical data of 55 patients with cT1b renal tumor who underwent zero-ischemia laparoscopic partial nephrectomy between January to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 29 patients in the 3D reconstruction group and 26 patients in the CTA group. Patients in the 3D reconstruction group underwent preoperative enhanced CT and 3D reconstruction on the virtual surgical planning technology platform. Tumor location, tumor supply blood vessel location, and surrounding blood vessel distribution were determined according to the reconstruction results, so as to formulate the surgical plan. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy under zero ischemia circumstance was performed. Patients in the CTA group underwent routine renal enhanced CT before surgery, and underwent zero ischemia laparoscopic partial nephrectomy according to the enhanced CT images. The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, intraoperative and postoperative complications were compared between the three-dimensional reconstruction group and the CTA group. Results: All patients successfully completed the operation without conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy, and no serious perioperative complications occurred. There were no significant differences in age, gender distribution, body mass index, tumor diameter and R.E.N.A.L. scores between the two groups (P>0.05). The 3D reconstruction group had shorter operation time and less intraoperative blood loss than the CTA group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The 3D reconstruction virtual surgical planning technology can evaluate the anatomical structure and relative positions of tumor, kidney and blood vessels through preoperative visualization, which can help to plan the surgical method reasonably before surgery.
