Modified Takazawa anatomical classification of renal pelvicalyceal system based on three-dimensional virtual reconstruction models.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous classification of renal pelvicalyceal anatomical structure may be difficult to intuitively understand and unpractical for endourological surgery. We aim to put forward a modified Takazawa anatomical classification of renal pelvicalyceal system based on three-dimensional (3D) virtual reconstruction models for endourological surgery.

Methods

We retrospectively collected data on 225 patients (320 kidneys) in total between Apr. 2017 and Dec. 2020, spatial anatomical structure of renal pelvis and calyces were modeled and corresponding morphological parameters were measured after 3D virtual reconstruction of computed tomography urography (CTU). The modified Takazawa renal pelvicalyceal anatomical classification was advanced based on the renal pelvicalyceal morphological parameters [bifurcated branches of renal pelvis, cross sectional area of renal pelvis and ureteropelvic junction (UPJ), infundibuloureteral angle (IUA), lower pole infundibular calyceal length (IL)] by 3D virtual reconstruction models, and comparison of renal pelvicalyceal system morphological parameters were performed to evaluate the differences in various classification types of renal pelvis and calyces.

Results

Anatomical structure of renal pelvis and calyces were divided into two main types (Type A and Type B) according to renal pelvic branch patterns. A single pelvis without bifurcated branch was regarded as Type A (62%) and subclassified into three subtypes: Type A1 (22%), Type A2 (27%) and Type A3 (13%), the slimline pelvis was classified as Type A1, the typical pelvis as Type A2 and the broad pelvis as Type A3. A divided pelvis with bifurcated branches was seen as Type B (38%) and subclassified into two subtypes: Type B1 (15%) with the wide and flat lower calyx branch, Type B2 (23%) with the narrow and steep lower calyx branch.

Conclusions

Previous studies have reported that the visualization and classification of renal pelvicalyceal anatomical structure by endocast, autopsy, ultrasonography and excretory urography, the modified Takazawa classification system based on 3D virtual reconstruction models enables to standardized different anatomical morphology of renal pelvicalyceal system and provide intuitive and concise information on anatomy, thus leading to the improvement in treatment modality.

Project description:BackgroundConsidering the complexity of vascular or bronchial variations and the difficulty of nodule localization during segmental resection, the three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and printing model can provide a guarantee for safe operation and, to some extent, can simplify the surgical procedure. We conducted this study to estimate the avail of 3D reconstruction and personalized model in anatomical partial-lobectomy (APL).MethodsWe prospectively collected and retrospectively reviewed the data of 298 cases who underwent APL in our institute from April 2017 to May 2019. The patients were divided into "3D-reconstruction" group (131 patients), "3D model" group (31 patients) and "non-3D" group (136 patients). We adopted the ANOVA analysis and Chi-square test to compare the perioperative data between the three groups. Subjective satisfaction questionnaires for surgeons were provided to evaluate the value of personalized 3D printed model.ResultsThe proportion of complex segmentectomy in 3D model group (87.1%) was significantly higher than that in the 3D-reconstruction group (60.3%) and non-3D group (55.9%) (P=0.006), and the average operation time of complex segmentectomy in 3D model group (99.56 minutes) was significantly shorter than that of the other group (all P<0.05). The average intraoperative blood loss in the 3D model group (12.9 mL) was significantly lower than that in the 3D reconstruction group (20.9 mL) (P=0.001) and non-3D group (18.2 mL) (P=0.022). For simple segmentectomy, the operation time, postoperative drainage, and postoperative hospital stay were similar among the three groups. The questionnaire survey showed that most surgeons were satisfied with the clinical effectiveness of the personalized 3D printed model.Conclusions3D printing technology can improve understanding of the anatomy, decrease the operation time, and reduce the potential risk of thoracoscopic anatomical partial lobectomy in stage I lung cancer. A pre-operative rating scale was designed to standardize the application of this technology.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of real-time surgical navigation by three-dimensional (3D) virtual reconstruction models in robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP).MethodsBetween November 2018 and January 2020, 38 patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) who underwent RALP were retrospectively enrolled. The operations were assisted in real time by 3D models in 16 patients, while 22 patients underwent surgery without navigation. Based on whether patients had a prior intervention history, crossing vessels or congenital deformities, we further divided them into the "complicated UPJO" cohort and the "regular UPJO" cohort for subgroup analysis. The demographic characteristics, intraoperative parameters, perioperative data and follow-up data were recorded and compared between the groups.ResultsAll of the procedures were successfully performed without open or laparoscopic conversion. The mean dissection time to the UPJ was shorter in the navigation group than in the non-navigation group, both in the whole cohort (15.3 vs. 24.8 min, P=0.011) and in the complicated cohort (15.4 vs. 27.5 min, P=0.004), while there was no significant difference in the regular cohort. The overall operative time and estimated blood loss in the navigation group tended to be less, although the difference was not statistically significant. No difference in anastomosis time, postoperative hospital stay or complications was noted between the two groups in either cohort. At a mean follow-up of 11.2 months, the overall success rate was 94.7% (36/38), and there was no significant difference between the two groups.ConclusionsReal-time navigation by 3D virtual reconstruction models might be helpful to improve surgical efficiency and safety of RALP by facilitating the dissection around the UPJ, especially for cases of complicated UPJO. However, the prospective study with larger sample size is further needed to confirm the results.

Project description:BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of three-dimensional (3D) interactive quantitative surgical planning on the outcome of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomical partial lobectomy (APL), and to investigate the learning curve of 3D reconstruction-assisted VATS APL assisted.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 156 cases of solitary pulmonary ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions in patients who underwent 3D interactive quantitative VATS APL. Digital imaging and communications in medicine data were recorded for each patient. We used Materialise 3-Matic software to make 3D reconstructed images. All surgeries were performed by the same thoracic surgeon at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department of Yichang Central People's Hospital between February 28, 2018, and April 20, 2020. The learning curve was evaluated using operative time and the cumulative sum (CUSUM) value of operative time in all cases.ResultsVATS APL was performed in every patient successfully, and there were no conversions to thoracotomy or lobectomy. The median surgical margin distance was 2.2 (range, 2.0-2.8) cm. All patients had an R0 complete cancer resection on histology. The histological subtypes of the segmental lesions included 69 cases of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), 61 cases of adenocarcinoma, one case of squamous cell carcinoma, 16 cases of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), and nine cases of atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH). The median operation time was 119 (range, 57-245) min, and median intraoperative blood loss was 37 (range, 15-247) mL. The median duration of thoracic drainage tube insertion was 2.3 (range, 1-23) days after surgery. The median length of postoperative hospital stay was 3.7 (range, 3-25) days. There were no cases of perioperative death. During the median postoperative follow-up period of 11 (range, 2-26) months, no tumor recurrence or postoperative death was observed. 3D interactive quantitative surgical planning facilitates safe and efficient VATS APL with a learning curve of 30 cases.Conclusions3D interactive quantitative surgical planning for VATS APL is a feasible option for inexperienced surgeons, with acceptable safety and complications.

Project description:The cell biology discipline constitutes a highly dynamic field whose concepts take a long time to be incorporated into the educational system, especially in developing countries. Amongst the main obstacles to the introduction of new cell biology concepts to students is their general lack of identification with most teaching methods. The introduction of elaborated figures, movies and animations to textbooks has given a tremendous contribution to the learning process and the search for novel teaching methods has been a central goal in cell biology education. Some specialized tools, however, are usually only available in advanced research centers or in institutions that are traditionally involved with the development of novel teaching/learning processes, and are far from becoming reality in the majority of life sciences schools. When combined with the known declining interest in science among young people, a critical scenario may result. This is especially important in the field of electron microscopy and associated techniques, methods that have greatly contributed to the current knowledge on the structure and function of different cell biology models but are rarely made accessible to most students. In this work, we propose a strategy to increase the engagement of students into the world of cell and structural biology by combining 3D electron microscopy techniques and 3D prototyping technology (3D printing) to generate 3D physical models that accurately and realistically reproduce a close-to-the native structure of the cell and serve as a tool for students and teachers outside the main centers. We introduce three strategies for 3D imaging, modeling and prototyping of cells and propose the establishment of a virtual platform where different digital models can be deposited by EM groups and subsequently downloaded and printed in different schools, universities, research centers and museums, thereby modernizing teaching of cell biology and increasing the accessibility to modern approaches in basic science.
