Print, Plan, Perform: Evaluating the Clinical Impact of Anatomical Modelling in the Surgical Treatment of Pediatric Thoracic and Abdominal Tumours

In brief

This study examines how patient-specific 3D anatomical models improve surgical planning and execution for children with complex thoracic and abdominal tumors. The research evaluates the perioperative clinical impact of using these models to navigate challenging anatomic relationships in pediatric oncologic surgery.

• Patient-specific 3D anatomical models improve surgical planning for complex pediatric thoracic and abdominal tumours.
• Anatomical modeling helps surgeons visualize tumor-organ relationships before operating on pediatric patients.
• Preoperative 3D models may reduce operative complexity and improve perioperative outcomes in pediatric oncology cases.
• Personalized anatomical models serve as a surgical rehearsal tool for challenging pediatric tumor resections.
