Abstract

Background: Medical 3D imaging is a promising emerging technology that allows recreating the details of human anatomy. The use of this innovative technology has resulted in improved surgical efficiency and better clinical outcomes. However, its incorporation in gynaecologic surgery has not been widely adopted.

Objectives: To demonstrate the use of Hyper Accuracy 3D reconstruction in a patient with infertility who underwent multiple myomectomy.

Materials and Methods: A stepwise approach describing the incorporation of Hyper Accuracy 3D imaging technology into the preoperative surgical planning and intraoperative guidance of a patient with multiple myomas undergoing multiple myomectomy.

Main outcome measures: Preoperative evaluation of a patient with multiple myoma and infertility who presented to our department seeking surgical management. Hyper Accuracy 3D image was obtained, and a 3D digital image reconstruction of the uterus delineating the exact number, volume, and location of the fibroids was created. The 3D digital image was available during the surgical procedure which helped to plan the surgical steps allowing a systematic surgical approach resulting in an effective surgery with minimal blood loss.

Results: The benefits of intraoperative guidance using Hyper Accuracy 3D in a patient with multiple myomas and infertility are demonstrated.

Conclusions: The adoption of this promising imaging technology into gynaecologic surgery is feasible and should be further investigated. Additional studies evaluating the clinical impact of using Hyper Accuracy 3D imaging in the preoperative planning of patients with gynaecologic surgical pathology are needed.
