“…By means of a 3D printing technique, Taverner et al successfully performed SNM to treat pain in a patient with a failed epidural puncture and achieved satisfactory results. In China, Cui applied 3D printing to SNM to achieve the expected results and suggested that this technique is simple to use even for a beginner, but its efficacy requires further observation. We have extensively discussed the 3D printing technique and design with Cui to create a ready‐to‐use and reassembled 3D template.…”

“…Cui et al . created a 3D printed device that helped guide electrode insertion in sacral neuromodulation. The principal clinical advantage of this model is in allowing precise entry of the test needle into the target foramen at a consistent angle of 60° in the sagittal plane.…”

“…However, identifying the opening of the sacral foramen is still a challenge for less experienced surgeons, especially if the patient has unusual sacral anatomy [22]. Cui et al [13] created a 3D printed device that helped guide electrode insertion in sacral neuromodulation. The principal clinical advantage of this model is in allowing precise entry of the test needle into the target foramen at a consistent angle of 60°in the sagittal plane.…”

Aim Three‐dimensional (3D) printing has been recognized as a revolutionary technological innovation that has benefitted numerous disciplines, including medicine. The present systematic review aimed to demonstrate the current applications of 3D printing in colorectal surgery along with the limitations and potential future applications of this innovation. Method A PRISMA‐compliant systematic literature search of studies that applied 3D printing in colorectal surgery in the period from January 1990 to July 2018 was conducted. Electronic databases including PubMed/Medline, Scopus and the Cochrane Library were searched. All full‐text original articles were eligible for inclusion. Results Nine studies including 58 patients with a median age of 60.7 years were reviewed. The studies assessed 3D printing in patients with planned stoma construction, colon cancer with liver metastasis, right colon cancer, rectal cancer, intractable constipation and anal fistula. The applications of 3D printing were classified into three categories: patient education, preoperative planning and evaluation of response of colorectal liver metastasis to chemotherapy. 3D printed models aided in planning resection of colorectal liver metastasis, facilitating D3 lymphadenectomy in complete mesocolic excision, improving the understanding of pelvic anatomy in laparoscopic rectal cancer treatment, guiding electrode implantation in sacral neuromodulation for intractable constipation, and elucidating the morphology of anal fistula tract and anal sphincter muscles. Conclusion Colorectal surgery may benefit from 3D printing in enhancing patient education before stoma construction, preoperative planning and evaluation of the response of liver metastasis to chemotherapy using 3D ultrasonography.

A Three‐Dimensional Print Model of the Pterygopalatine Fossa Significantly Enhances the Learning Experience

The pterygopalatine fossa (PPF) is a small bilateral space deep within the skull that acts as a major neurovascular junction between the oral cavity, nasopharynx, orbit, infratemporal fossa, and middle cranial fossa. Because of its important crossroads of afferent sympathetic, and parasympathetic fibers, students, radiologists, ophthalmologists, neurosurgeons, and otorhinolaryngologists need to have a firm understanding of the PPF. However, its small volume, poor accessibility and numerous neurovascular connections make it a difficult space to comprehend using two‐dimensional illustrations and a single cadaveric dissection. We hypothesized that a 3D model of the PPF significantly improves the student's understanding of the PPF's boundaries, its communicating channels, and neurovascular structures as compared to traditional forms of pedagogy by promoting visual and kinesthetic learning experiences. We developed a 3D model of the PPF and an instructional manual describing the model. We evaluated our model by analyzing student performance on pre‐ and post‐quizzes and a student user satisfaction survey based on 5‐point Likert scale. A total of 43 undergraduate students enrolled in pre‐medical and dental schools completed the study; 21 students used a human half‐skull (control group) and 22 students used the 3D model (intervention group). The intervention group performed significantly better on the post‐quiz (p=0.01) when compared to the pre‐quiz; however, the control group did not improve their quiz scores (p=0.17). Surveys also indicated that the model enhanced the learning experience. We conclude that anatomy educational tools such as 3D models that would be easily accessible outside of the laboratory promote student learning ability.
