1. A method of pre-operative surgical planning, comprising:
generating a pre-resection 3D model of a tissue structure;
displaying the pre-resection 3D model of the tissue structure on a user interface;
simulating, on the pre-resection 3D model, collapsing the tissue structure to generate a collapsed pre-resection 3D;
displaying the collapsed pre-resection 3D model;
selecting a portion of tissue to remove from the collapsed pre-resection 3D model;
simulating inflation of the tissue structure with the selected position of tissue removed to generate an inflated post-resection 3D model; and
displaying the inflated post-resection 3D model.
