Extended left hepatectomy?modified operation planning based on three-dimensional visualization of liver anatomy

Abstract

In these resections, operation planning may be improved substantially by pre-operative 3D reconstruction.

Small-for-Size Syndrome in the Rat: Does Size or Technique Matter?

“…[32] and is now widely accepted clinically. This is reflected in the recent development of a CT-based risk analysis, which is now frequently performed prior to critical hepatic resection [33][34][35][36].…”

Preoperative 3D volumetric analysis for liver congestion applied in a patient with hilar cholangiocarcinoma

“…This image-based computer assistance has been used practically in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) to decide reconstruction of the accessory veins to avoid graft congestion or to figure out the exact transection line of the donor liver where substantial congestion is reduced to the minimum for both the remnant and graft liver [7,9,10]. However, in liver resection for malignant tumors, few reports are performing exact visualization and quantitation of congestion in the involved liver tissue by this computer-assisted risk analysis [13,14]. We assessed large IRHV and MRHV in a case of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, which proved to drain nearly 50% of the remnant right lobe.…”

Emerging Technology in the Treatment of Colorectal Metastases to the Liver

“…Further enhancements include the incorporation of preoperative planning software to aid in complex resections, depict tumor involvement relative to major vessels or bile ducts, and estimate residual hepatic volumes. 55,56 The ultimate goal is an IIGS system that simultaneously correlates and portrays two-dimensional preoperative CT images (complete with planned planes of resection and areas of ablation) along with real-time IOUS cross-sections, with …”
