Summary
Three-dimensional (3D) biomodels enhance dermatologic surgery by improving surgical planning and outcomes for nail tumors. These 3D models aid in creating personalized surgical devices and facilitate precise tumor localization.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Dermatologic Surgery
- Biotechnology
Background:
- 3D biomodels are advancing medical imaging and surgical applications.
- Incorporating 3D technologies in dermatology has shown reduced operating times and improved surgical outcomes.
- 3D printing enables safe surgical simulation for training and education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the application of 3D biomodels in dermatologic surgery.
- To demonstrate the utility of 3D biomodels in managing nail tumors through clinical cases.
- To highlight the benefits of 3D biomodels in surgical planning, patient communication, and medical education.
Main Methods:
- Acquisition of onychological images for 3D reconstruction.
- Development of customized surgical equipment guided by 3D biomodels.
- Utilizing 3D biomodels for surgical simulation, planning, and patient communication.
Main Results:
- Case 1: 3D biomodel guided personalized device for minimally invasive glomus tumor removal.
- Case 2: 3D biomodels facilitated conservative subungual keratoacanthoma surgery planning and patient understanding.
- Case 3: 3D biomodels aided precise localization and planning for a longitudinal groove lesion.
Conclusions:
- Virtual and physical 3D biomodels are valuable tools in surgical dermatology.
