Summary

This study tests whether personalized 3D liver models help surgeons plan major liver surgery more accurately. 25 adults having liver resection will get a 3D model before surgery. After surgery, the predicted and actual removed liver volumes are compared. The goal is to reduce the risk of liver failure after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: 3D reconstruction (diagnostic imaging)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could make liver surgery safer by helping surgeons plan more accurately, potentially reducing the risk of liver failure after surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The 3D models may not improve outcomes enough to change current practice.
