3D models for Kidney Surgery

Urological Surgery

Oncological surgery for kidney cancer is the recommended treatment to remove tumours and, in some cases, the kidney itself. Cella’s 3D surgical planner provides dedicated tools to safely plan tumour resections, clamping procedures, or nephrectomies.

Benefits of 3D models in kidney surgical planning

An advanced solution for planning complex kidney surgeries, enhancing clinical outcomes and enabling new surgical possibilities.

  • Better understanding of the patient’s anatomy and less cognitive effort required by the surgeon to analyse structures
  • Useful tool in the education and training of residents
  • Less intraoperative blood loss
  • Facilitates interdisciplinary communication between doctors
  • Reduction in intraoperative complications

Specific tools for 3D planning in Kidney Surgery

We collaborate with urological surgeons to develop dedicated tools

Our 3D models offer features tailored to real clinical needs, enabling personalised surgical planning for across specialties and pathologies.

Relación entre el tumor y el resto de elementos del riñón
Simulación del lecho quirúrgico en el riñón tras la extirpación de lesión
Cálculo del Renal Score y Padua Score

Especially recommended for conditions and procedures in which preoperative planning can optimise outcomes and enhance surgical safety.

Testimonials from surgeons who already use our 3D models

The 3D model in robotic surgery is a tool, I would dare to say essential, because it assists in vascular and urinary navigation of the renal tumour and allows for the customisation of surgical treatment.

3D virtual models provide us with easier visual information and detailed knowledge of anatomy. They also have advanced tools for assessing tumour margins, relationships with vital structures, and vascular territories.
