UROLOGY

In case of renal oncological surgery, the HA3D^® model allows the surgeon to interact with the anatomy and to study the case with the aim of:

• Intuitively visualizing the vascular systems that supply the organ and the tumor mass
• Knowing the exact spatial position and extension of the lesion in relation to the parenchyma
• Studying the relationships between the tumor and vascular-collecting systems
• Simulating perfusion areas related to the arterial branches that supply the organ 
• Analyzing anatomical variants and anomalous vascular branches

The benefits of using HA3D^® models to support renal surgery are particularly relevant in the context of very complex cases of partial nephrectomy, where three-dimensional reconstructions make it possible to plan the best surgical strategy in all types of procedures (open, laparoscopic, and robotic).

During the intra-operative phase, the use of the HA3D^® reconstruction allows the surgeon to review the previously developed planning.

Referring to the three-dimensional model, the surgeon has the possibility to verify the carried out maneuvers and to more easily identify the different anatomical landmarks and arterial and venous branches, also in cases of complex anatomical variants, for an optimal management of the peduncle. This facilitates the identification and resection of planned and simulated vascular branches.
