Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • 3D printing is increasingly utilized in various surgical specialties, including bone-based procedures.
  • Advancements in diagnostic imaging and 3D printing technology facilitate the creation of precise surgical models.
  • Research on 3D printed models for neurosurgical simulation and training is expanding.

Approach:

  • This review details the application of 3D printing in neurosurgery at our institution.
  • Focuses on specific modeling techniques and their utility in surgical simulations.
  • Highlights the powder-sticking lamination method using plaster for its drillable properties.

Key Points:

  • Plaster models created via powder-sticking lamination allow for surgical simulation, including drilling.
  • Effective for simulating complex skull base tumor resections (e.g., petrosectomy, anterior clinoidectomy).
  • Color-coded models enhance anatomical comprehension; meshed tumor models offer deep translucency.

Conclusions:

  • 3D printing enables the creation of highly accurate and useful models for neurosurgical simulation.
  • These models significantly aid in pre-surgical planning and resident training.
  • The technology offers innovative solutions for complex anatomical challenges in neurosurgery.
