A multicentric survey involving 11 patients with liver tumors and 23 experienced surgeons demonstrated that 3D reconstructions significantly enhance the comprehension of complex liver anatomy and the relationship between tumors and adjacent vascular structures. Compared to standard 2D CT scans, the 3D models provided superior accuracy in identifying vascular structures related to tumors. This advancement in surgical visualization has the potential to influence the selection and extent of liver resection, with substantial benefits for complex hepato-biliary surgeries.
