Horseshoe kidney surgery with a tumor

Successful surgery for a renal tumor in a horseshoe kidney. Using 3D reconstruction, we could pinpoint the tumor's main artery, making it easier to preserve the kidney in an extremely complex surgery.

The pride of working with Mirai 3D, developing new technologies that make complex, safe surgeries possible for our patients.

Benefits ✔ A better understanding of the relationships between the structures involved

✔ Surgical plan design

✔ Guidance in the surgical approach in the operating room

✔ Better interaction among the doctors involved

✔ Reduced operating-room time

Clinical case. A 52-year-old man with a carcinoma in the right kidney that affected the renal parenchyma and the associated vessels.

The patient also had a horseshoe kidney condition.

3D anatomical model

◾ FDM technology

◾ Material: PLA

◾ Resolution: 0.2 mm

◾ Finish: two colors

Result in the operating room. The tumor was resected laparoscopically.

The model was used to plan the surgical strategy and guide the procedure while approaching the tumor. It was especially useful for locating the arteries and interpreting their relationship to the tumor.

The 3D-printed anatomical model perfectly replicated the anatomy of the kidney and the rest of the vasculature, allowing us to operate more safely and in less time.
