Progress in Renal Tumor Surgery: The Role of 3D Surgical Planning in Partial Nephrectomy
Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma is the most common form of kidney cancer, representing 2–3% of global cases, with the highest incidence in Western Europe. For small renal tumors, partial nephrectomy is the preferred treatment, where the tumor is surgically removed. This procedure does not affect oncological outcomes, allowing part of the kidney to remain functional. During tumor removal, the surgeon minimizes excessive bleeding and improves visibility by cutting off the arterial …
