Enhancing decision-making and patient comprehension in complex rectal cancer surgery through personalized three-dimensional imaging: randomized feasibility study
This feasibility study suggests that personalized 3D models may enhance comprehension and reduce decisional conflict in complex rectal cancer consultations. However, baseline differences between groups and lack of comparison with generic models limit definitive conclusions. Future research should address these methodological limitations and explore longer-term outcomes, such as decisional regret.
