Enhancing decision-making and patient comprehension in complex rectal cancer surgery through personalized three-dimensional imaging: randomized feasibility study ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf116 This study investigated the use of personalized three-dimensional (3D) models as a decision-making aid for patients undergoing pelvic exenteration for complex rectal cancer The RCT found that patients who received 3D models alongside standard consultations experienced a greater reduction in decisional conflict and had higher agreement with surgeons on expected functional outcomes, indicating improved education and communication While the 3D models enhanced understanding and emotional reassurance, their impact on decision-making varied, depending on case complexity and quality-of-life considerations Work by Jordan A Fletcher , Alison Corr , Ioanna Drami , Claire Taylor , Therese Hona , David Burling , Phillip Lung , Elaine M Burns , John T Jenkins #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @des_winter @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #colorectalsurgery #StepUp4CRC @FightCRC @ACPGBI #ERAS @dice_europe #Crohn #proctology @Dukes_Club @ACPGBI_EduTrain @AECP_FAECP @PelvExGroup @escp_tweets @YouESCP #TeachMeColoproctology #Some4COLoprocto
