Print, plan, perform: Evaluating the clinical impact of anatomical modelling in the surgical treatment of pediatric thoracic and abdominal tumours

Key Points

• Clinical impact is significant—anatomical modelling aids in tumor resection in pediatric patients.
• Findings show a notable decrease in complications by approximately 25%, enhancing surgical success rates.
• Assessment includes retrospective analysis of surgical outcomes across multiple hospitals over 2 years.
• These results support the need for wider use of advanced anatomical modelling techniques in pediatric surgery.
