| Abstract: | Objective3D models are increasingly used as additional preoperative tools for renal surgery. We aim to evaluate the impact of 3D renal models in the assessment of PADUA, RENAL, Contact Surface Area (CSA) and Arterial Based Complexity (ABC) for the prediction of complications after Robot assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RAPN).Methods and materialsOverall, 57 patients with T1 and 1 patient with T2 renal mass referred to RAPN, were prospectively enrolled. 3D virtual modelling was obtained from 2D computed tomography (CT). Two radiologists recorded PADUA2D, RENAL2D, CSA2D and ABC2D by evaluation of 2D images; two bioengineers recorded PADUA3D, RENAL3D, CSA3D and ABC3D by evaluation of the 3D model, using MeshMixer software. To evaluate the concordance between 2D and 3D nephrometry scores, Cohen's j coefficient was calculated. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to evaluate the accuracy of 3D and 2D nephrometry scores to predict overall complications. Finally, the impact of 3D model on clamping approach during RAPN was compared to 2D imaging.ResultsPADUA3D, RENAL3D, CSA3D and ABC3D scores had a significant different distribution compared to PADUA2D, RENAL2D, CSA2D and ABC2D (all p≤0.03). 2D nephrometry scores may be unchanged, reduced or increased after assessment by 3D models: CSA3D, PADUA3D, RENAL3D and ABC3D were reduced in14%, 26%, 29% and 16% and increased in 16%, 36%, 38% and 29% of cases, respectively. At ROC curve analysis, PADUA3D, RENAL3D and ABC3D showed were significantly better accuracy to predict complications compared to PADUA2D, RENAL2D and ABC2D. PADUA3D (OR: 1.66), RENAL3D (OR: 1.69) and ABC3D (OR: 2.44) revealed a significant correlation with postoperative complications (all P ≤0.03).ConclusionNephrometry scores calculated via 3D models predict complications after RAPN with higher accuracy than conventional 2D imaging. |
