“…There were insignificant differences in operation time, hemoglobin drop, or complication rates between groups. Both studies concluded that 3D reconstruction technology is an effective adjunct to PCNL in complex renal calculi treatment, recommending the Hisense CAS System to assist in preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation for an intuitive, precise, and convenient PCNL [17,18].…”

“…A retrospective study of 139 patients with complex kidney stones submitted to PCNL investigated the results of 3D reconstruction using a computer-assisted surgery system (CAS; Hisense Technology, Qingtao, CN) vs. plain CT preop planning [17]. Patients were grouped into those submitted to the 3D reconstruction technique before PCNL ( n = 72) and those not ( n = 67).…”

Purpose of review Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) is the first-line management option for large kidney stones (>2 cm). It remains, however, a demanding procedure with considerable morbidity. The present narrative review summarizes recent knowledge from original research studies investigating navigation systems/three-dimensional (3D) imaging in PCNL, particularly on publications during the past 12–18 months. Recent findings Navigation systems and 3D imaging are primarily used for preoperative planning, with few intra-operative applications. Patient management and residents’ training could benefit from their use. Summary Navigation systems and 3D imaging technology have emerged as a potential game-changer in PCNL. Even though available evidence is currently scarce/inconclusive, the safety/efficacy of navigation systems and 3D dimensional imaging use in PCNL appears promising. This advanced technology offers precise anatomical mapping, improved visualization, and surgical accuracy. Enabling a comprehensive preoperative evaluation and improving guidance, navigation systems, and 3D imaging technology may improve the safety and efficacy of PCNL. With continuous technological evolution, it is expected that improvements/innovations will offer further aid in such demanding procedures. Familiarization and cost reduction are necessary for widespread application, while larger-scale prospective studies and well designed randomized controlled trials are still needed.

“…In particular, three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) reconstructions have been adopted to facilitate comprehensive planning for PCNL ( 31 , 32 ). In 2021, Tan et al ( 32 ) published a retrospective comparative study including 139 patients with complex renal calculi undergoing PCNL. In 72 cases the procedure was preceded by 3D-CT reconstruction techniques.…”

Pediatric Urolithiasis: Current Surgical Strategies and Future Perspectives

et al. 2022

New technological innovations and cutting-edge techniques have led to important changes in the surgical management of pediatric urolithiasis. Miniaturized technologies and minimally invasive approaches have been increasingly used in children with urinary stones to minimize surgical complications and improve patient outcomes. Moreover, the new computer technologies of the digital era have been opening new horizons for the preoperative planning and surgical treatment of children with urinary calculi. Three-dimensional modeling reconstructions, virtual, augmented, and mixed reality are rapidly approaching the surgical practice, equipping surgeons with powerful instruments to enhance the real-time intraoperative visualization of normal and pathological structures. The broad range of possibilities offered by these technological innovations in the adult population finds increasing applications in pediatrics, offering a more detailed visualization of small anatomical structures. This review illustrates the most promising techniques and devices to enhance the surgical treatment of pediatric urolithiasis in children, aiming to favor an early adoption and to stimulate more research on this topic.
