3D models for Pancreatic Surgery
- Better understanding of peripancreatic vascular anatomy and its relationship to the tumour
- Increase in R0 resections
- Allows alternatives for the resection of tumours considered unresectable
- Useful for personalised patient education
- Allows confirmation of non-resectable diagnoses, reducing exploratory laparotomies
- Fewer intraoperative complications
Our 3D models offer features tailored to real clinical needs, enabling personalised surgical planning for across specialties and pathologies.
Vascular relationships
Study the vasculature and its relationship to the lesion.
Plane navigation
Viewing relationships through the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes.
Intraductal and intravascular virtual navigation
Visualise the interior of the vasculature, pancreatic duct and other structures.
Arterial and venous resection
Plan vascular resection according to established safety margins.
And more…
Clinical indications in Pancreatic Surgery with 3D models
Especially recommended for conditions and procedures in which preoperative planning can optimise outcomes and enhance surgical safety.
PANCREATIC PATHOLOGIES
Malignant tumours of pancreas
- Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
- Carcinomas of the ampulla of Vater with pancreatic invasion
- Acinar cell carcinoma
- Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs)
Pancreatic cystic tumours
- Serous cystadenomas
- Mucinous cystadenocarcinomas
- Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN)
- Pseudopapillary solid tumours (Frantz tumour)
Inflammatory and benign conditions
- Chronic pancreatitis
- Pancreatic inflammatory pseudotumour
- Complicated acute necrotising pancreatitis
DUODENAL PATHOLOGIES
Malignant tumours
- Duodenal carcinoma
- Duodenal lymphomas
- Duodenal sarcomas
Benign or premalignant tumours
- Duodenal adenomas
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST)
Inflammatory and congenital conditions
- Duodenal stenosis
- Complicated duodenal diverticula
- Duodenal fistulas
VASCULAR AND COMBINED DISEASES
Vascular invasion by tumours
- Main vessel involvement
- Resection of pancreatic or duodenal tumours with vessel reconstruction:
- Portal vein.
- Superior mesenteric vein (SMV).
- Superior mesenteric artery (SMA).
- Resection of pancreatic or duodenal tumours with vessel reconstruction:
- Superior mesenteric artery syndrome
- Planning to relieve vascular compression.
Trauma
- Combined injuries of the duodenum and pancreas
- Duodenopancreatic haematomas
Fistulas and pseudoaneurysms
- Pancreaticoduodenal fistulas
- Pseudoaneurysms secondary to pancreatitis
Testimonials from surgeons who already use our 3D models
”The greatest cost savings can be achieved in cases where, thanks to the 3D model, it is decided not to operate, avoiding the need for surgery, and in the reduction of complications in patients who do undergo surgery, thanks to perfect preoperative planning of the procedure.
Dr. Luis Sabater OrtíHead of Service, HPB Surgery Unit. Valencia University Hospital
”The model allowed us to confirm the anatomy, assess the relationship between the tumour and the aberrant artery, and verify the absence of vascular invasion.
Dr. Miguel Ángel Gómez BravoHPB and Transplant Surgeon. Virgen del Rocío University Hospital, Seville
