Background: This study investigates the effectiveness of a three-dimensional reconstruction mathematical model (3D-IPR) for preoperative planning in locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) with threatened surgical margins. The objective was to evaluate the utility of a 3D-IPR surgical planner tool in cases of LACC with threatened surgical margins. Additionally, the study aims to compare the diagnostic accuracy of the 3D-IPR model against conventional CT scans in determining the infiltration of neighboring structures.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on improving outcomes for locally advanced colon cancer (LACC) surgery by using 3D Image Processing and Reconstruction (3D-IPR) to enhance diagnostic accuracy and enable complete R0 surgical resections.
  • It involves a comparative, observational approach where participants are adults undergoing LACC surgery, assessed via CT scans and colonoscopy, with strict exclusion criteria for certain conditions.
  • The primary goal is to evaluate how effectively 3D-IPR can determine tumor infiltration compared to standard CT scans, with various secondary objectives related to surgical strategy and patient outcomes, while monitoring for any potential harm from the imaging processes.

: Simultaneous liver resection and peritoneal cytoreduction with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remains controversial today. The aim of the study was to analyze the postoperative outcomes and survival of patients with advanced metastatic colon cancer (peritoneal and/or liver metastases). Retrospective observational study from a prospective maintained data base.

Aim: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the added value of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction models and artificial intelligence for preoperative planning in complex perianal Crohn's disease. MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis of complex perianal fistulas and abscess due to its high sensitivity, but it lacks high specificity values. This creates the need for better diagnostic models such as 3D image processing and reconstruction (3D-IPR) with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.
