V10-08 robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy of a Right Pelvic Kidney

Abstract

This video illustrates the utilization of a patient-specific 3D kidney model to rehearse complex tumor resection prior to the surgery. The implementation of 3D models available to the surgeon prior to RAPN affords preoperative planning and improves the ability to anticipate intricacies of patient-specific anatomy. Moreover, allowing the resident to demonstrate tumor resection capability on a model may increase trainee autonomy and focus teaching during the case.
