Image-guided Lymphadenectomy Within Urologic Regions of Interest in AMIGO
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Summary
This research study involves the use of two navigation systems, the 3D Slicer-based navigation system, and the Siemens Monaco systems, to simplify the complexity of image-guided lymphadenectomy procedures (surgery to remove one or more lymph nodes) in patients with urological cancer.
Description
This research study involves the use of two navigation systems, the 3D Slicer-based navigation system, and the Siemens Monaco systems, which will simplify the complexity of image-guided lymphadenectomy procedures (surgery to remove one or more lymph nodes). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved the navigation systems (3D Slicer and Monaco) as a treatment for any disease. In this research study, our hypothesis is that the use of the navigation systems (3D Slicer and the Siemens Monaco system) may simplify the complexity of laparoscopic lymphadenectomy (The procedure in…
