Introduction:
Aim of the study is to set-up a dedicated course on 3D virtual models (3DVM) and augmented reality
(AR) for partial nephrectomy in a porcine model.
Materials and Methods
It consists of hands-on sec/ons with dry and wet lab exercises. Defined metrics ensure learning path
based on Proficiency-Based-Progression Methodology. The initial two modules, overseen by
bioengineers, instruct surgeons to generate a 3DVM from 2D-images, as well as its handling using
3D-mouse and the ICON3d rack. For the wet lab module, a case-specific virtual reconstruction from
contrast enhanced CT-scans of the animal undergoing surgery is required. Within the training
operative room the ICON3d system is connected to the robotic console, to allow the trainee-surgeon
to visualize the 3DVM by using TilePro. The five intraoperative exercises include overlaying the 3DVM
onto the real kidney, the delineation of a virtual renal mass placed within the 3DVM by burning the
surface of the real organ with monopolar scissors, the selective clamping of the arterial branch of
interest, the resection of the renal parenchyma previously delineated under AR-guidance, the
suture of the resection bed guided by virtual dots at the margins of the parenchymal incision.
Results
3 trainee surgeons were involved in the pilot AR-Course study under the supervision of three trainer
surgeons and two bio-engineers. 3 porcine models underwent AR-RAPN. All the exercises were
successfully completed.
Conclusions
The training course on 3DVM and AR for porcine robotic partial nephrectomy has been set and
tested, demonstrating efficacy in training the surgeons to AR technology.
