Background Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging technology widely used in medical education. However, its role in the teaching of human anatomy needs further evaluation. Methods PubMed, Embase, EBSCO, SpringerLink, and Nature databases were searched systematically for studies published from January 2011 to April 2020 in the English language. GRADEprofiler software was used to evaluate the quality of literature. In this study, a meta-analysis of continuous and binary data was conducted. Both descriptive and statistical analyses were used. Results Comparing the post-training tests in neuroanatomy, cardiac anatomy, and abdominal anatomy, the standardized mean difference (SMD) of the 3D group and the conventional group were 1.27, 0.37, and 2.01, respectively (p < 0.05). For 3D vs. cadaver and 3D vs. 2D, the SMD were 0.69 and 1.05, respectively (p < 0.05). For answering time, the SMD of the 3D group vs. conventional group was – 0.61 (P < 0.05). For 3D print usefulness, RR = 2.29(P < 0.05). Five of the six studies showed that satisfaction of the 3D group was higher than that of the conventional group. Two studies showed that accuracy of answering questions in the 3D group was higher than that in the conventional group. Conclusions Compared with students in the conventional group, those in the 3D printing group had advantages in accuracy and answering time. In the test of anatomical knowledge, the test results of students in the 3D group were not inferior (higher or equal) to those in the conventional group. The post-training test results of the 3D group were higher than those in the cadaver or 2D group. More students in the 3D printing group were satisfied with their learning compared with the conventional group. The results could be influenced by the quality of the randomized controlled trials. In a framework of ethical rigor, the application of the 3D printing model in human anatomy teaching is expected to grow further.

“…Weitere Untersuchungen sind daher notwendig, um die Kosteneffektivität des Einsatzes der 3D-Drucktechnologie zu beleuchten bzw. zu verbessern und den Transfer auch in Bereiche der Routineversorgung zu ermöglichen [6]. Diesbezüglich arbeitet die Industrie derzeit an integrierten benutzerfreundlichen Paketlösungen, die die gesamte Prozesskette der Herstellung eines 3D-Modells unter Zuhilfenahme intuitiver Softwaretools, maßgeschneiderter Druckersteuerung und wartungsfreundlicher Drucker abbilden können.…”

ZusammenfassungDie Digitalisierung der Chirurgie ist eine der richtungsweisenden Herausforderungen der aktuellen und kommenden Chirurgengenerationen. Für das Gebiet der Gefäßmedizin steht mit dem 3D-Druck eine digitale Technologie zur Verfügung, deren Implementierungsmöglichkeit interessante Perspektiven bietet und evaluiert werden muss. Die 3D-Drucktechnologie erlaubt neben dem Einsatz zu Aufklärungs-, Trainings- und Simulationszwecken auch die Herstellung von patientenindividuellen OP-Schablonen und Implantaten. In unserer Klinik wird diese Technologie derzeit in den Bereichen Operationsplanung bei komplexer Gefäßmorphologie, Patientenaufklärung und zu Trainingszwecken verwendet. Die aktuellen industriellen Weiterentwicklungen hinsichtlich Softwarelösungen, Materialpalette und Druckereigenschaften lassen eine deutliche Vereinfachung des Herstellungsprozesses von patientenindividuellen 3D-Modellen und eine Expansion der Anwendungsmöglichkeiten erwarten.

The puncture of the gluteal artery (GA) is a rare and difficult procedure. Less experienced clinicians do not always have the opportunity to practice and prepare for it, which creates a need for novel training tools. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of developing a 3D-printed, patient-specific phantom of the GA and its surrounding tissues to determine the extent to which the model can be used as an aid in needle puncture planning, simulation, and training. Computed tomography angiography scans of a patient with an endoleak to an internal iliac artery aneurysm with no intravascular antegrade access were processed. The arterial system, including the superior GA with its division branches, and pelvic area bones were 3D printed. The 3D model was embedded in the buttocks-shaped, patient-specific mold and cast. The manufactured, life-sized phantom was used to simulate the GA puncture procedure and was validated by 13 endovascular specialists. The printed GA was visible in the fluoroscopy, allowing for a needle puncture procedure simulation. The contrast medium was administered, simulating a digital subtraction angiography. Participating doctors suggested that the model could make a significant impact on preprocedural planning and resident training programs. Although the results are promising, we recommend that further studies be used to adjust the design and assess its clinical value.
