Patient-Specific Partial Nephrectomy Surgical Planning Model
This is a patient matched model of a renal tumor designed to assist with surgical planning in Robotically Assisted Partial Nephrectomy. The renal cortex is printed in translucent PLA with the embedded tumor in green. The artery and vein are printed in red and blue prospectively. The kidney model is designed split down the center of the tumor so that the depth of invasion can be ascertained.
