Le résumé fourni par la source

OBJECTIVE: We relate a single-center experience in virtual surgical planning to demonstrate interests and perspectives in pediatric urology. METHOD: From 2004 to April 2017, 4 patients were analyzed before intervention at our institution. All patients had undergone a low dose CT scan. The acquisition was then treated by a surface rendering software Pre-, per- and post-operative outcome were retrospectively collected. RESULTS: 4 patients were operated on from 2004 to April 2017: two for oncological pathologies and two for congenital malformations. Mean age at intervention was 61 months (21-156 months). Two interventions were performed laparoscopically with one conversion. Mean operative time was 135 min (80-180 min). There were no complications. CONCLUSION: 3D surgical planning should be mandatory in pediatric urology to perform the safest, the most accurate and effective surgery as possible.
