From 2D to 3D : The Development of Preoperative Planning for Segmentectomy in NCKUH
Thoracoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive procedure for treating various thoracic conditions, requires precise planning and surgical navigation. Preoperative 3D reconstruction simulation has emerged as a valuable tool in enhancing the accuracy and safety of thoracoscopic procedures. This presentation explores the benefits, methodology, and clinical implications of utilizing 3D reconstruction simulations prior to thoracoscopic surgery. 3D reconstruction involves creating a detailed, patient-specific anatomical model using high-resolution imaging modalities such as computed tomography angiography (CTA). These models allow surgeons to visualize the patient’s unique anatomy, including vascular structures, tumors, and surrounding tissues, from different angles. This level of detail is crucial in identifying anatomical variations, planning optimal surgical paths, and anticipating potential complications. Surgeons can practice the procedure virtually, improving their familiarity with the patient’s anatomy and reducing the learning curve for complex cases. Additionally, 3D simulations aid in patient education by allowing them to better understand the surgical process, which can improve consent quality and satisfaction. This presentation will review current techniques and software for 3D reconstruction, provide case studies demonstrating its impact on thoracoscopic surgery, and discuss the future direction of this technology in thoracic surgery. As the field advances, the incorporation of 3D reconstruction simulation is poised to become a standard component of preoperative planning, revolutionizing the way thoracoscopic surgery is approached and performed.
