Partial nephrectomy: three dimensional (3D) models from preoperative computed tomography is the future to identify the exact loction of the tumor

Assessment of the complexity of renal tumors by nephrometry (R.E.N.A.L. score) with CT and MRI images versus 3D reconstruction model images

“…There is a perception that the R.E.N.A.L. score assessed in 3D reconstructions is more favorable to the performance of partial nephrectomy than the assessments made from simple tomography or resonance images (8).…”
