Usefulness of three-dimensional(3D) simulation software in hepatectomy for pediatric hepatoblastoma

摘要

Background: Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common malignant liver tumor in childhood. Complete HB surgical resection which is technically demanding is the cornerstone of effective therapy with a good prognosis. The aim of our study is to evaluate the usefulness of 3D simulation software in assisting hepatectomy in pediatric patients with HB.
