ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical value of three-dimensional visualization technology in the resection of retroperitoneal tumor.METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 91 patients with retroperitoneal tumor who underwent surgical resection in Department of General Surgery,Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2014 to December 2018.The three-dimensional visualization technology was used to observe the relationship between retroperitoneal tumors and surrounding tissues and blood vessels,to assess the resectability of the tumor and guide the development of the surgical plan.RESULTS: The median operation time was 178 minutes,the median blood loss was 543 mL,and the average tumor size was 12.8 cm.Nine cases(9.9%) were with postoperative complications and 1 died of seizures,82 patients with pathological examination of tumor capsule integrity,and the rate of complete resection is 90%.CONCLUSION: Preoperative application of three-dimensional visualization technique in the resection of retroperitoneal tumor can improve preoperative assessment accuracy and guide the formulation of individualized precision surgical procedures,meanwhile,to enable patients to achieve better surgical results.
