“…One of the primary contributions of AM in healthcare is its pivotal role in surgical planning [20]. The ability of surgeons to practice and refine operative techniques using 3Dprinted models contributes to a substantial reduction in operational risk and time [21,22]. The tangible and three-dimensional representation of anatomical structures allows surgeons to gain confidence in their procedures before entering the operating room [23].…”

Additive manufacturing has been widely used in various industries, including the healthcare sector. Over the last few decades, AM has been playing an important role in the medical field in different areas, including surgical planning, implants, and educational activities. For surgical applications, AM can help surgeons practice and plan an operation until they are confident with the process. This can help to reduce operational risk and time. In addition, it can help to demonstrate the problem to other colleagues. AM has also been used to produce 3D models to teach students and doctors about human anatomy. This paper aims to comprehensively review the diverse applications of additive manufacturing within the domains of surgical planning and medical education. By focusing on the multifaceted roles played by AM in these critical areas, a contribution to the growing body of knowledge that underscores the transformative potential of this technology in shaping the future of healthcare practices is sought to be made.

“…As 3D technology goes further, the costs of printers and materials lower while printed materials become more realistic, making the application of 3D printing in the medical field more appealing [11]. Three-dimensional printing in a multi-material manner has been shown to be a useful preoperative tool for preoperative planning, combining both cost-effectiveness and flexibility to be utilized for patients' benefit and medical residents' education [58].…”

“…The method described earlier in this paper can somehow solve this problem, providing the possibility to use patient-specific anatomy for both teaching and planning purposes [75]. Simulation of surgical procedures and training may improve clinical results and surgeons' competence [58]. Another advantage of this is the possibility to gain surgical skills by performing surgical approaches for tailored neurosurgical diseases that can be presented in a regular manner, through 2D images from CT scans and MRIs.…”

Our study explores the integration of three-dimensional (3D) virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing in neurosurgical preoperative planning. Traditionally, surgeons relied on two-dimensional (2D) imaging for complex neuroanatomy analyses, requiring significant mental visualization. Fortunately, nowadays advanced technology enables the creation of detailed 3D models from patient scans, utilizing different software. Afterwards, these models can be experienced through VR systems, offering comprehensive preoperative rehearsal opportunities. Additionally, 3D models can be 3D printed for hands-on training, therefore enhancing surgical preparedness. This technological integration transforms the paradigm of neurosurgical planning, ensuring safer procedures.

“…The use of patient-specific 3-D models has been shown to be more beneficial than two-dimensional (2-D) images when consenting patients or discussing preoperative plans with trainees. With familiarity and efficient workflow, Langdon et al showed that 3-D-printed models can be swiftly designed and accurately fabricated in approximately 24 h [80]. The ability to rapidly deploy and incorporate patientspecific 3-D models in skull base surgery certainly has a promising future in surgical safety, patient education, and training.…”

“…These considerations are important to allow for a four-handed, two-surgeon technique. A wide sphenoidotomy should always be performed to allow for complete access to the planum and tuberculum sella [80]. Reconstructive options should be always assessed before performing sphenoidotomies.…”

Originally pioneered in adults, endoscopic endonasal approaches for skull base pathology are being increasingly applied as a minimally invasive alternative for young children. Intrinsic anatomic differences between these patient populations have sparked discussions on the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of these techniques in pediatric patients. This work aims to serve as a primer for clinicians engaged in the rapidly evolving field of pediatric endoscopic skull base surgery. A succinct overview of relevant embryology, sinonasal anatomy, and diagnostic workup is presented to emphasize key differences and unique technical considerations. Additional discussions regarding select skull base lesions, reconstructive paradigms, potential surgical complications, and postoperative care are also highlighted in the setting of multidisciplinary teams.
