ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish surgical difficulty scoring system of partial nephrectomy based on holographic imaging and explore its application value in partial nephrectomy.Methods:A total of 184 patients including 110 males and 74 females with renal tumors diagnosed as stage cT 1 to cT 2 before surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University from October 2019 to January 2022 were included. Among the 184 patients, 141 patients were treated with partial nephrectomy and 43 patients were treated with radical nephrectomy (3 partial nephrectomies were finally changed to radical nephrectomies due to vascular and tumor location). 60 patients had hypertension. 24 patients had diabetes. 7 patients had hyperuricemia. The median age was 55(47, 62) years. The median BMI was 23.7(21.8, 26.4) kg/m 2. The median maximum tumor diameter was 3.9(2.9, 5.2) cm. The median preoperative eGFR was 99.7(83.4, 114.2) ml/(min·1.73m 2). The median R. E.N.A.L. score was 8(6, 9). The median PADUA score was 9(8, 10). 153 patients were diagnosed as stage cT 1 and 31 patients were diagnosed as stage cT 2. The hologram reconstruction was performed according to preoperative CT or MRI examination. The maximum diameter of the tumor in the kidney (D), the compression degree of the renal segmental vessels by tumor(C), the area of the renal sinus occupied by tumor(O) and the mass of exophytic rate(M) were comprehensively considered and finally constituted the difficulty scoring system named DCOM score for partial nephrectomy. The DCOM score divided the complexity of tumor surgery into mild (4-6 points), moderate (7-8 points) and high (≥ 9 points). Meanwhile, the MIC (surgical margins are negative, WIT is <20 min, and no major complications)was used to evaluate the overall surgical effect. The DCOM, R. E.N.A.L. and PADUA scores were performed on all patients and compared with each other to evaluate the surgical effect of DCOM score in partial nephrectomy. Results:All surgeries in this study were successfully completed, including 141 partial nephrectomies and 43 radical nephrectomies. The DCOM score was 10(9, 11) for radical nephrectomy and 6(5, 8) for partial nephrectomy, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.001). There were 23 patients (37.7%) in highly complex group, 39 patients (88.6%) in moderately complex group and 79 patients (100.0%) in mildly complex group underwent partial nephrectomy, respectively. According to multifactorial analysis, patients in highly and moderately complex group of DCOM score had 8.88 times ( P=0.001) and 1.76 times ( P=0.005) less reach MIC than those in mildly complex group, respectively. Patients in highly and moderately complex group of PADUA score had 4.86 times ( P=0.005)and 3.41 times ( P=0.006)less reach MIC than patients in mildly complex group of DCOM score, respectively. What’s more, patients in moderately complex group of R. E.N.A.L. score had 3.11 times ( P=0.003) less reach MIC than patients in mildly complex group of DCOM score. In the ROC curves to predict MIC achievement, the AUC values of R. E.N.A.L., PADUA and DCOM scores were 0.657, 0.655 and 0.746, respectively. Comparing:R. E.N.A.L. score with DCOM score, the AUC value was statistically significant ( P=0.025). Conclusions The surgical difficulty scoring system (DCOM score) based on holographic imaging can predict the outcome of partial nephrectomy, but further verification is needed.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of transperineal prostate targeted biopsy guided by holographic image.Methods:Clinical data of 10 patients with transperineal prostate targeted biopsy guided by holographic image in Peking University Shougang Hospital between May and September 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The average age was (70.9±10.3) years old, the median PSA was 15.1(6.02-1110.14) ng/ml, prostate MRI were performed before biopsy and the PI-RADS scores were all ≥ 3, and the number of suspicious target lesions was 1.4±0.5. CT examinations of urinary system were performed on the premise of mild lithotomy position and positioning stickers pasted on the skin of perineum and lower abdomen. The original data of CT and MRI were obtained, holographic image models were firstly made separately and then fused into a complete model, and the puncture paths were planned for the target lesions. At the time of puncture, the patient took the same body position as in CT scan, the operator wore a mixed reality head mounted display (HoloLens glasses), and the skin positioning stickers were used for visual registration between the holographic model and the real human body. Then under the guidance of the virtual puncture path, the puncture biopsy gun was placed, fired after reaching the predetermined depth, a transrectal ultrasound probe was placed to clarify the position of the puncture needle, and the objective accuracy of puncture was judged by comparison of ultrasound and MRI images. If the first shot was judged to be inaccurate, it was allowed to make a supplementary shot after adjusting the angle. After holographic guided biopsies, cognitive fusion targeted biopsies and 12-needle systematic biopsies were performed routinely, and the proportion of positive needles of the three different biopsy methods were calculated respectively.Results:All the 10 cases were successfully completed, including 16 holographic image guided shots, 28 cognitive fusion targeted shots and 116 systematic shots. The objective accuracy of holographic image guided biopsy after first shot judgments was 68.8% (11/16), while it raised to 87.5% (14/16) after supplementary shots. The proportion of positive needles in the three puncture methods were 56.3% (9/16), 42.9% (12/28) and 19.8% (23/116), respectively ( P=0.002). The results of subjective questionnaire showed that holographic model was helpful to improve the spatial understanding of lesions. The satisfaction of intraoperative holographic registration and guided puncture were 90% and 60%, respectively. No puncture related complication occurred in this group. Conclusion:The study preliminarily confirmed the feasibility of holographic image-guided prostate targeted biopsy. This new puncture method has better objective accuracy, and the proportion of positive needles is significantly better than systematic biopsy.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of holographic image technology in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP).Methods:The clinical data of 34 patients with prostate cancer who underwent RARP in our hospital during October 2020 and December 2020 was analyzed retrospectively. The average age of the patients was 67.8 (52-78) years. The mean BMI was 25.8 (18.0-32.3) kg/m 2. The median level of PSA before surgery was 13.4 (2-149) ng/ml. Median prostate volume was 31.7 (9.5-159.1) ml. EAU risk groups for biochemical recurrence of localised and locally advanced prostate cancer were list as below: 5 cases of low-risk, 7 cases of medium-risk, 22 cases of high-risk. There were 9, 16, 9 cases with the ASA score of 1, 2, 3 point, respectively. Preoperative Gleason score of 34 patients were list as below: 9 cases in score ≤6 group, 15 cases in score=7 group, 10 cases in score ≥8 group. For clinical stage before the surgery, 13 cases ≤T 2a stage, 1 case in T 2b stage, 20 cases ≥T 2c stage. The engineers established holographic images of 34 patients based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and the reports before the operation. Surgeons can obtain the size and location of tumors, surrounding neurovascular bundles visually by revolving, assembling, disassembling and concealing images, which was helpful for pre-surgery planning. By manipulating the holographic images extracorporeally, surgeons can discriminate Internal sphincter of urinary bladder and vesicoprostatic muscle, neurovascular bundles, membranous part, seminal vesicle easily, which improves the operation accuracy. Results:All 34 cases underwent operation successfully without transferring to open surgery. The median operative time was 157.5 (95-276) min with an estimated blood loss of 50 (20-300) ml. The median drainage removal time was 2 d and median hospitalization time was 3.5 d, respectively. The catheters were removed within an average time of 20.5 d. For postoperative Gleason score, there were 2 cases in score ≤6 group, 16 cases in score =7 group, 8 cases in score ≥8 group and 8 cases can’t make a score. For clinical stage after the surgery, 10 cases were ≤T 2a stage, 1 case was T 2b stage, 23 cases were ≥cT 2c stage. 22 cases underwent pelvic lymph node dissection, including a patient with right iliac fossa lymph node metastasis. There were 2 cases with positive surgical margin and 3 cases with Clavien-DindoⅠcomplications. The rate of 1-month and 3-month urinary continence were 47.1% and79.4%, respectively, 8 cases recovered erectile function after 3 month. Conclusions:Holographic image technology can promote cancer dissection completely, achieve urinary continence early and reduce perioperative complications tremendously. The technology is the "intraoperative security" for the accurate surgical treatment of prostate cancer.
