Clinical application of 3D visualization technology combined with 3D laparoscopy in the resection of middle segment pancreatectomy / 中华胰腺病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the clinical value of three-dimensional visualization combined with 3D laparoscopy in the resection of middle segment pancreatectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 11 patients who underwent middle segment pancreatectomy by 3D laparoscopy admitted in the Department of General Surgery of Jinhua Hospital affiliated with Zhejiang University from December 2016 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The 3D visualization software was used to reconstruct the image data collected from 2D CT images of the patients before operation, showing the three-dimensional location of the tumor, the extent of pancreatic tumor involvement, the relationship between tumor and surrounding vessels and the status of peripheral enlarged lymph nodes; according to the reconstructed figure, the specific surgical approach and procedures were determined. All the middle segment pancreatectomy was performed under 3D laparoscopy.Results:Three-dimensional visualization clearly displayed the middle pancreatic tumor and the adjacent organs, especially showing the distinct relationship between the tumor and the artery, vein and common bile duct. All the surgery had been successfully completed because of the good depth of field and sterescopic image of 3D laparoscopy, and no patient was transferred to open surgery and Roux-Y pancreaticojejunostomy was performed in all the patients. The average operation time was (264±98)min, and the intraoperative blood loss was (105±82)ml. The average hospital stay ranged from 6 to 17 days after operation. There were 3 cases of grade B pancreatic fistula after operation, which were cured by active drainage and conservative treatment. All the patients recovered and discharged without death.Conclusions:Three-dimensional visualization can accurately evaluate the pancreatic tumor before operation, and it combined with 3D laparoscopic middle segment pancreatectomy was safe and feasible.
