BACKGROUNDThree-dimensional (3D) printing is currently being explored in various medical fields with promising results, and customized surgical instrument prototyping and production seems to be one of the promising approaches, particularly in pediatric surgery. This study aimed to test the possibility of desktop 3D printing of surgical instruments for use in pediatric surgery. MATERIAL and METHODSRoux retractor and infant laparoscopic trocar were designed using Solidworks 3D CAD software (Dassault Systemes, FR). Mechanical durability simulation tests were performed using Solidworks Simulation software. The instruments were printed in Ultimaker 2+ Extended 3D printer (Ultimaker, NL) using 2.85-mm polylactic acid filaments. RESULTSRoux retractor was designed in 15 min and printed in 90 min. Laparoscopic trocar was designed in 2 h and printed in 2 h. Application of 5-kilogram force (kgf) resulted only in 0.84-mm displacement in infant laparoscopic trocar. The 5 kgf applied to the Roux retractor's curved face caused 9.22-mm displacement. The laparoscopic trocars weighed 7.40±0.07 g, and Roux retractors weighed 12.50±0.04 g. The interior chamber of the 3D-printed laparoscopic trocars withstood a mean of 10±1.5 mmHg pressure without any obvious air leakage. Poststerilization culture results of all prototypes were proven to be sterile. CONCLUSION3D printing of surgical instruments is a promising field in pediatric surgery as it offers a great versatility regarding both design and production.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is cited as "a novel, fascinating, future builder technology" in many papers and articles. Use of this technology in the field of medicine and especially oral and maxillofacial surgery is expanding. The type of manufacturing systems, materials, cost-effectiveness, and also bio-printing, with studies from around the world today, make this field a "hot-topic" in reconstructive and regenerative surgery. This chapter evaluates the latest updates and scientific uses of 3D printing.

Objective: Three-dimensional printing technology is being employed in a variety of medical and surgical specialties to improve patient care and advance resident physician training. As the costs of implementing three-dimensional printing have declined, the use of this technology has expanded, especially within surgical specialties. This article explores the types of threedimensional printing available, highlights the benefits and drawbacks of each methodology, provides examples of how three-dimensional printing has been applied within the field of otolaryngology -head and neck surgery, discusses future innovations, and explores the financial impact of these advances.Data Sources: Articles were identified from PubMed and Ovid Medline.Review Methods: PubMed and Ovid Medline were queried for English articles published between 2011and 2016, including a few articles prior to this time as relevant examples. Search terms included: three-dimensional printing, 3D-printing, otolaryngology, additive manufacturing, craniofacial, reconstruction, temporal bone, airway, sinus, cost, and anatomic models.Conclusions: Three-dimensional printing has been used in recent years in otolaryngology for preoperative planning, education, prostheses, grafting, and reconstruction. Emerging technologies include the printing of tissue scaffolds for the auricle and nose, more realistic training models, and personalized implantable medical devices. Implications for Practice:After accounting for the upfront costs of three-dimensional printing, its utilization in surgical models, patient-specific implants, and custom instruments can reduce operating room time and thus decrease costs. Educational and training models provide an opportunity to better visualize anomalies, practice surgical technique, predict problems that might arise, and improve quality by reducing mistakes.3
