Laparoscopic resection of localized tumors of horseshoe kidney parenchyma using 3D printing: clinical observation

The use of 3D-computer technologies (3D-modeling, 3D-printing) in the surgical treatment of patients with kidney abnormalities contributes to a better understanding of anatomy at the preoperative planning stage and improves intraoperative navigation. We present a clinical observation using 3D-printing during performing organ-preserving laparoscopic surgery in a patient with localized formations of the horseshoe kidney parenchyma.
