Three-dimensional reconstruction and CT-based modelling are increasingly used for preoperative planning in renal tumour surgery. This narrative review summarizes 42 publications focused on virtual 3D models, 3D printing and holographic reconstruction to assess patient-specific anatomy, including renal vascular architecture and tumour relationships. The literature suggests that 3D models may improve anatomical understanding, influence surgical strategy, and potentially optimize selected perioperative outcomes (operative time, blood loss, ischemia parameters). The review also outlines areas where artificial intelligence methods may be applied (primarily automated segmentation and faster image post-processing) and discusses limitations of implementation (standardization, validation, organizational and legal issues).

Трехмерная реконструкция и моделирование данных компьютерной томографии в последние годы широко используются для предоперационного планирования при опухолях почки. В настоящем обзоре проанализированы 42 публикации, посвященные применению виртуальных 3D-моделей, 3D-печати и голографической реконструкции для оценки индивидуальной анатомо-топографической картины, включая особенности почечной сосудистой архитектоники и взаимоотношения опухоли с ключевыми структурами. По данным литературы, использование 3D-моделей может улучшить понимание анатомии, влиять на выбор хирургической тактики и потенциально оптимизировать отдельные периоперационные показатели (время операции, объем кровопотери, параметры ишемии). Отдельно обсуждаются направления, в которых применяются методы искусственного интеллекта (прежде всего автоматизированная сегментация и ускорение постобработки изображений), а также ограничения внедрения цифровых технологий в клиническую практику (стандартизация, валидация, организационно-правовые вопросы).
