Table 3.

Concordance between pre-operative decisions using imaging alone versus imaging plus 3D printed model as compared to actual surgical procedure. Percentage indicates the percentage of time that the pre-operative decision matched the actual surgical approach (for 9 cases*, 27 total survey answers for each question). *One surgical procedure was not performed at our institution.

Pre-operative Decision Imaging Imaging + 3D Model
Q1: Radical or Partial Nephrectomy? 92.6% 100%
Q2: Robotic Laparoscopic or Open? 77.8% 81.5%
Q3: Retroperitoneal or Transperitoneal? 59.3% 55.6%
Q4: Clamping? 81.5% 85.2%
