RESUMO
Surgical resection is currently the main method for the treatment of primary liver cancer. The appearance of new techniques, such as three-dimensional visualization, 3D printing, virtual reality, indocyanine green molecular fluorescence imaging, and hepatectomy with intraoperative navigation, has provided new methods for the preoperative diagnosis, surgical planning, and intraoperative navigation of primary liver cancer. Among these techniques, three-dimensional visualization shows incomparable advantages in the diagnosis of primary liver cancer, the selection of treatment regimen, preoperative planning, intraoperative navigation, and liver transplantation. This article summarizes the recent advances in the application of three-dimensional visualization in surgical operation for primary liver cancer.
