Three-dimensional Printing Technology in Surgery

Abstract: Background: Three-dimensional printing has become an increasingly widespread technology, becoming more accessible to individuals, small businesses and organisations. It represents the ability to manufacture objects of various substrate material using computer aided 3D plans. This article aims to explore the various uses of this technology in medicine and surgery including future directions and applications Method: A generalised review of past and current articles was performed exploring the known uses of three… Show more

“…Identifying and visualizing anatomy is critical for any surgical intervention, and depending on complexity and variability of the regional anatomy, digital and physical preoperative anatomical assessment is an important adjunct to surgical planning . Medical imaging has advanced considerably since the development of the roentgenogram, and it is now possible to display three‐dimensional anatomy using computerized reconstructions of tomographic and even sonographic imaging modalities . This has the potential to reduce complications and unexpected adversities.…”

“…7 Medical imaging has advanced considerably since the development of the roentgenogram, and it is now possible to display threedimensional anatomy using computerized reconstructions of tomographic and even sonographic imaging modalities. 7 This has the potential to reduce complications and unexpected adversities. Such models also add a tactile interface that can amplify the intuitive understanding of anatomy, aiding in novel approaches to unique, and complex scenarios.…”

“…Concebido inicialmente na década de 1980 por Charles Hull, o uso de materiais para formar estruturas tridimensionais, por meio de coordenadas cartesianas em software de computador em três dimensões (3D), tem, ao longo dos anos, avançado com a utilização de materiais bioinertes como hidrogéis, cerâmicas, polímeros e, até mesmo, vidros bioabsorvíveis 1 . O interesse por sua aplicação na medicina tem aumentado, incluindo áreas da educação médica, planejamento cirúrgico, produção de instrumentos e confecção de próteses 2 .…”
