This study introduces a novel investigation employing preoperative 3D modelling in SCS preparation.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>A retrospective analysis was undertaken at a university-affiliated tertiary medical centre, examining patients who underwent SCS for recurrent ovarian cancer between 2017 and 2022. Patients were stratified into 2 cohorts: those with preoperative CT-based 3D imaging (group A) and those without (group B). Demographic profiles, clinical data, and surgical outcomes were compared between the groups.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Among the 76 identified patients, 18 were deemed suitable for surgery, with 7 in group A undergoing preoperative 3D modelling. Demographics encompassing age and performance status were consistent across both groups, while Serous histology was more prominent in group B.
