Fulltext PDFRenal cancer is a common malignancy in both sexes, with Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) representing the majority of renal tumors. The increasing use of imaging modalities has resulted in earlier detection of smaller lesions that are candidates for nephron sparing surgical removal. Although many advances in imaging and image reconstruction technology have improved preoperational
planning, personalized 3D model printing appears to be an innovative, tailor-made approach towards improved pre- and intra-surgical planning and enhanced surgical and oncological outcomes. Recent advances in 3D model designing are increasingly refining the qualitative results of 3D printed models as a surgical aid.
