Patient-specific, deliverable, and self-expandable surgical guide development and evaluation using 4D printing for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy

Abstract Accurate lesion diagnosis through computed tomography (CT) and advances in laparoscopic or robotic surgeries have increased partial nephrectomy survival rates. However, accurately marking the kidney resection area through the laparoscope is a prevalent challenge. Therefore, we fabricated an...
