Core Tip

Core Tip: Three-dimensional reconstruction visualization technology (3D RVT) provides a more comprehensive and intuitive understanding of the anatomy and related lesions at the gastroesophageal junction. This study compared the 2D group, which underwent laparoscopic resection surgery after computed tomography (CT)-enhanced scanning, with the 3D group, which underwent laparoscopic resection surgery after CT-enhanced scanning and 3D RVT. Our findings highlight the benefits of using 3D RVT to improve surgical outcomes and reduce complications in patients with gastroesophageal junction cancer.
