Background: Patients who undergo laparoscopic right hemicolectomy often have vascular anomalies, creating challenges for surgeons. Preoperative identification of vascular anomalies and intraoperative precise navigation can enhance surgical safety and reduce the difficulty of the procedure. Accordingly, this study aimed to explore and evaluate the application of three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and printing technology in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy and its assistance in preoperative planning and intraoperative navigation.

- A study was conducted to analyze the impact of a 3D printed model of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) on surgical procedures for rectal cancer (RC) that aimed to preserve the left colic artery (LCA) and reduce complications like anastomotic leakage.
- The research involved comparing two groups of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection—one using the 3D model and a control group—with results showing significant improvements in operation time, blood loss, hospital stay, recovery time, and lower complication rates for the 3D model group.
- The findings suggest that the 3D printed IMA model can enhance surgical safety and efficiency by helping surgeons better navigate the complex anatomy during procedures.
