Editorial by Reza Mehrazin and Shirin Razdan on p. 388–389 of this issue: Can preoperative planning using IRIS™ three-dimensional anatomical virtual models predict operative findings during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy?

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictive validity of IRIS™ (Intuitive Surgical®, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) as a planning tool for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) by assessing the degree of overlap with intraoperative execution. METHODS: Thirty-one patients scheduled for RAPN by four experienced uro...

Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictive validity of IRIS™ (Intuitive Surgical®, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) as a planning tool for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) by assessing the degree of overlap with intraoperative execution. METHODS: Thirty-one patients scheduled for RAPN by four experienced urologists were enrolled in a prospective study. Prior to surgery, urologists reviewed the IRIS™ three-dimensional model on an iphone Operating System (iOS) app and completed a questionnaire outlining their surgical plan including surgical approach, and ischemia technique as well as confidence in executing this plan. Postoperatively, questionnaires assessing the procedural approach, clinical utility, efficiency, and effectiveness of IRIS™ were completed. The degree of overlap between the preoperative and intraoperative questionnaires and between the planned approach and actual execution of the procedure was analyzed. Questionnaires were answered on a 5-point Likert scale and scores of 4 or greater were considered positive. RESULTS: Mean age was 65.1 years with a mean tumor size of 27.7 mm (interquartile range 17.5–44.0 mm). Hilar tumors consisted of 32.3%; 48.4% of patients had R.E.N.A.L. nephrometry scores of 7–9. On preoperative questionnaires, the surgeons reported that in 67.7% cases they were confident that they can perform the procedure successfully, and on intraoperative questionnaires, the surgeons reported that in 96.8% cases IRIS™ helped achieve good spatial sensation of the anatomy. There was a high degree of overlap between preoperative and intraoperative questionnaires for the surgical approach, interpreting anatomical details and clinical utility. When comparing plans for selective or off-clamp, the preoperative plan was executed in 90.0% of cases intraoperatively. CONCLUSION: A high degree of overlap between the preoperative surgical approach and intraoperative RAPN execution was found using IRIS™. This is the first study to evaluate the predictive accuracy of IRIS™ during RAPN by comparing preoperative plan and intraoperative execution.
