Kidney cancers account for approximately 2% of all newly diagnosed cancer in 2020. Among the primary treatment options for kidney cancer, urologist may choose between radical or partial nephrectomy, or ablative therapies. Nowadays, robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for the management of renal cancers has gained popularity, up to being considered the gold standard. However, RAPN is a challenging procedure with a steep learning curve.
In this narrative review, different imaging technologies used to guide and aid RAPN are discussed.
Three-dimensional visualization technology has been extensively discussed in RAPN, showing its value in enhancing robotic-surgery training, patient counseling, surgical planning, and intraoperative guidance. Intraoperative imaging technologies such as intracorporeal ultrasound, near-infrared fluorescent imaging, and intraoperative pathological examination can also be used to improve the outcomes following RAPN. Finally, artificial intelligence may play a role in the field of RAPN soon.
RAPN is a complex surgery; however, many imaging technologies may play an important role in facilitating it.
2020年肾癌约占所有新诊断癌症的2%。在肾癌的主要治疗方案中,泌尿外科医生可在根治性肾切除术、部分肾切除术或消融治疗之间进行选择。如今,机器人辅助部分肾切除术(RAPN)用于治疗肾癌越来越普遍,甚至被视为金标准。然而,RAPN是一项具有挑战性的手术,学习曲线较陡。
在这篇叙述性综述中,讨论了用于指导和辅助RAPN的不同成像技术。
三维可视化技术在RAPN中已得到广泛讨论,显示出其在加强机器人手术培训、患者咨询、手术规划和术中指导方面的价值。术中成像技术,如体内超声、近红外荧光成像和术中病理检查,也可用于改善RAPN后的治疗效果。最后,人工智能可能很快会在RAPN领域发挥作用。
RAPN是一项复杂的手术;然而,许多成像技术可能在促进其实施方面发挥重要作用。
