Area of Science:

  • Medical Engineering
  • Surgical Planning
  • Biomedical Technology

Background:

  • Patient-specific surgery planning is crucial for complex procedures.
  • Traditional planning methods can be time-consuming and lack detailed anatomical visualization.
  • Advancements in medical imaging and 3-D printing offer new possibilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role and benefits of 3-D printing in patient-specific surgery planning.
  • To explore the integration of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) data for 3-D model creation.
  • To assess the impact of 3-D printed models on surgical accuracy and planning efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • 3-D printing of hard-tissue surgery models for orthopedic, pelvic, and craniofacial surgeries.
  • Discussion of software data conversion from CT/MR medical images to 3-D printable formats.
  • Analysis of time savings and visualization improvements offered by 3-D printed models.

Main Results:

  • 3-D printed models significantly improve visualization of complex pre-operative anatomy.
  • Surgery planning time can be reduced by up to two-thirds.
  • Enhanced accuracy in surgery planning and improved surgical outcomes are achieved.

Conclusions:

  • 3-D printing should be adopted as a standard protocol for surgery planning and surgical education.
  • The technology offers opportunities for materials research in hard and soft tissue applications.
  • Cost-effectiveness is a consideration, with recommendations for 3-D printing costs to be within 20% of the total surgery budget.
