3D models for Colorectal Surgery
Colorectal Surgery is one of the most common treatments for colon and rectal cancer. Accurate localisation of the tumour and preservation of critical anatomical structures are essential for optimal surgical outcomes. Patient-specific 3D models of the colon and rectum provide detailed visualisation of anatomical structures and the spatial relationships between tumours, vascular structures and adjacent organs
An advanced solution for planning complex colon and rectal surgeries, improving clinical outcomes and opening up new surgical possibilities.
- Better understanding of the patient’s anatomy and less cognitive effort on the part of the surgeon
- Facilitates interdisciplinary communication between doctors and communication with patients
- Assists in the evaluation of anatomical relationships in the pelvic cavity
- Accurate knowledge of the patient’s mesenteric vascularisation
- Greater understanding of the anatomy of anal fistulas
- Assessment of tumour extent, facilitating the preservation of healthy organs
Specific tools for 3D planning in Colorectal Surgery
We collaborate with colorectal surgeons to develop dedicated tools
Our 3D models offer features tailored to real clinical needs, enabling personalised surgical planning for each specialty and pathology.
Anatomical relationships
Shows possible infiltrations/contacts between tumours and other elements.
Minimum distances
Shows the minimum distances between tumour elements and other elements in millimetres.
Resection planning
Simulate complete or partial oncological resections of elements.
Response to neoadjuvant therapy
Comparison of volumes before and after neoadjuvant treatment.
And more…

Testimonials from surgeons who already use our 3D models
”It is a tool created for surgeons. It is a genuine surgical planner and simulator. Surgeons needed a tool developed by and for us. It could reduce operating times and complications and increase survival rates by facilitating the surgical strategy for oncological processes.
Dr. Álvaro García GraneroColorectal Surgeon. Son Espases University Hospital, Palma de Mallorca
”The 3D model allowed us to simulate the surgical procedure, improving our perspective, increasing safety during surgery and avoiding extensive resections.
Dr. Emilio PeñaColorectal Surgeon. Reina Sofía University General Hospital, Murcia
