“…Comparison of dimensional accuracy or renal tumour volume between 3D printed models and original imaging data/or surgical results was reported in 5 studies (18,24,(32)(33)(34). Results of these studies showed that 3D printed models are highly accurate in replicating anatomical structures or detecting tumour volumes with mean difference <10% in dimensional measurements between 3D printed models and original imaging data or surgically resected specimens ( Table 1).…”

“…Of 19 eligible studies, 4 were further excluded because of duplicate publication in 2 studies by the same research group (20,21), while another 2 studies focused on 3D printed renal compartments for nuclear medicine imaging without reporting any clinical application of 3D printed models in renal anatomy or renal disease (22,23). Thus, a total of 15 articles were finally included in this review (15)(16)(17)(18)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). Figure 2 shows the search strategy to identify these eligible studies.…”

The aim of this systematic review is to analyse current literature related to the clinical value of three-dimensional (3D) printed models in renal disease. A literature search of PubMed and Scopus databases was performed to identify studies reporting the clinical application and usefulness of 3D printed models in renal disease. Fifteen studies were found to meet the selection criteria and were included in the analysis. Eight of them provided quantitative assessments with five studies focusing on dimensional accuracy of 3D printed models in replicating renal anatomy and tumour, and on measuring tumour volume between 3D printed models and original source images and surgical specimens, with mean difference less than 10%. The other three studies reported that the use of 3D printed models significantly enhanced medical students and specialists' ability to identify anatomical structures when compared to two-dimensional (2D) images alone; and significantly shortened intraoperative ultrasound duration compared to without use of 3D printed models. Seven studies provided qualitative assessments of the usefulness of 3D printed kidney models with findings showing that 3D printed models improved patient's understanding of renal anatomy and pathology; improved medical trainees' understanding of renal malignant tumours when compared to viewing medical images alone; and assisted surgical planning and simulation of renal surgical procedures with significant reductions of intraoperative complications. The cost and time associated with 3D printed kidney model production was reported in 10 studies, with costs ranging from USD$100 to USD$1,000, and duration of 3D printing production up to 31 h. The entire process of 3D printing could take up to a few days. This review shows that 3D printed kidney models are accurate in delineating renal anatomical structures and renal tumours with high accuracy. Patient-specific 3D printed models serve as a useful tool in preoperative planning and simulation of surgical procedures for treatment of renal tumours. Further studies with inclusion of more cases and with a focus on reducing the cost and 3D model production time deserve to be investigated.

“…These 3-D models can also be used for patient education preoperatively in terms of estimating the amount of functional renal parenchyma that will remain after resection and setting expectations regarding outcomes and success of RAPN [38]. 3-D printing technology has also gained popularity in creating renal tumor models and has been successfully used for preoperative surgical planning and patient education [39].…”

Minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN) is now considered the procedure of choice for small renal masses largely based on functional advantages over traditional open surgery. Lack of haptic feedback, the need for spatial understanding of tumor borders, and advanced operative techniques to minimize ischemia time or achieve zero-ischemia PN are among factors that make MIPN a technically demanding operation with a steep learning curve for inexperienced surgeons. Surgical simulation has emerged as a useful training adjunct in residency programs to facilitate the acquisition of these complex operative skills in the setting of restricted work hours and limited operating room time and autonomy. However, the majority of available surgical simulators focus on basic surgical skills, and procedure-specific simulation is needed for optimal surgical training. Advances in 3-dimensional (3-D) imaging have also enhanced the surgeon's ability to localize tumors intraoperatively. This article focuses on recent procedure-specific simulation models for laparoscopic and robotic-assisted PN and advanced 3-D imaging techniques as part of pre- and some cases, intraoperative surgical planning.
