Patient-specific 3D-printed models offer a promising approach to enhance precision and safety in temporal bone surgery. Further clinical validation is needed before widespread adoption into standard surgical care.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Temporal bone surgery demands high precision due to proximity to critical structures.
  • Traditional surgical planning relies on 2D imaging interpretation, which is cognitively demanding and prone to errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the process of creating patient-specific 3D-printed temporal bone models.
  • To assess the current applications of these models in surgical rehearsal, navigation, and patient communication.

Main Methods:

  • Review of advancements in high-resolution imaging, segmentation, and 3D printing technologies.
  • Analysis of existing literature on the use of 3D-printed temporal bone models in surgical practice.

Main Results:

  • 3D-printed models facilitate surgical planning, navigation of complex anatomy, and refinement of surgical approaches.
  • These models can serve as intraoperative 3D references, potentially reducing cognitive load.
  • 3D models may enhance patient understanding and shared decision-making, though reports are limited.

Conclusions:

  • Patient-specific 3D models show significant potential for improving surgical precision and safety.
  • Current literature lacks high-level evidence and standardized reporting for these models.
  • Rigorous clinical validation is required prior to integrating 3D-printed models into the standard of care.
