In the researchers' words
Study the effect 3D printed or 3D virtual prostate models of a patient, when manipulated by surgeons during RARP, has on positive surgical margins and functional outcomes of patients. Our main hypothesis is that there is a reduction of positive resection margins and functional outcomes of patients undergoing RARP when surgeons are presented with 3D printed or 3D virtual patient-specific prostate models during surgery. Specifically, we hypothesize that the anatomical knowledge of surgeons that results from the manipulation of 3D printed/virtual models constructed from automated segmentations reduces positive resection margins and functional outcomes.
