Abstract
To evaluate the clinical value of the holographic imaging technology in combination with robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal hilar tumor treatment. From Dec. 2018 to Dec. 2021, patients diagnosed with renal hilar tumor were included in this retrospective study. Before the surgery, the engineers established the holographic image models based on the enhanced CT data. The models were used inpatient consultation,pre-surgery planning and surgery simulation. During the RAPN, the navigation was achieved by real-time overlapping of the holographic images on the robotic surgery endoscopic views. The navigation technique helped the surgeon to identify the important anatomic structures such as tumor, renal vein, renal artery, and pelvis. There were total of eight patients with renal hilar tumor who underwent RAPN combined with holographic imaging technique. The mean age was 57.3years, the median ASA score was 2. The mean tumor size was 42.4mm and the median RENAL Nephrometry score was 9.5. The clinical stages were cT1a (37.5%) and cT1b (62.5%). All the procedures were performed uneventfully by one surgeon. The mean operative time was 144.3min, and the mean warm ischemia time was 27.9min. The mean estimated blood loss was 86.3ml. There was no conversion to open surgery or radical nephrectomy. There were no Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3 perioperative complications. Using the holographic imaging technique, thepre-surgery planning, simulation of renal arterial clamp and excision of the tumor, and intraoperative navigation were feasible and helpful in facilitating RAPN.
