3D printing is proving a boon in medical science. It not only has revolutionized the engineering sector but has permeated into the manufacturing of medical devices, anatomy, medicines, etc. to help medical personnel and patients overcome several medical challenges. Complicated surgeries had always been a major challenge for surgeons. But with 3d printed models these surgeries are becoming easier and more precise.
Incredible AM Pvt Ltd located in Pune is a world-class firm that has earned the reputation of creating several medical devices, implants, and many more. Through this blog, Incredible endeavors to create awareness about the benefits of patient-specific anatomy models in pre-surgical planning.
Patient-specific anatomy models and their benefits
Prior to surgery, a3d printed replica with the exact shape, size, and structure of the patient’s anatomy is created. This 1:1 patient-specific model help in the case study, pre-operative planning, surgical simulation, and collaborative teamwork. Apart from these, it also has several other benefits.
5 reasons for using patient-specific anatomy models in pre-surgical planning
- Insight into patient’s pathology: With the exact 3d model of the patient’s anatomy in the hand, the doctors are able to get a clear view of the true anatomy and the complex pathological conditions.
- Decreases the OT (Operation Theatre) time: Since most of the case is studied and understood even before actual surgery through 3d printed patient-specific anatomical model, the surgeons know what they have to do and how to proceed during the surgery. This pre-planning saves a lot of surgery time. It is estimated that on average 30-60 minutes is saved.
- Easier to communicate with patients: Doctors discuss the medical conditions of the patients with the patients and their families. With the 3d anatomical models in their hands, it has become easier for the doctors to explain the medical and surgical procedures they would be undertaking. This aids in getting consent for the surgical procedure.
- Helps in devising tools: The patient-specific anatomical model also helps in getting the exact idea of the types of tools that would be required during the surgery. Thus, in case some patient-specific tools have to be used, they are arranged in advance.
- In training and education: The exact replica of the patient’s anatomy, supports the physical simulations of the surgery. This helps in educating and training the surgical team prior to the surgery. This increases the confidence of the whole team.
Thus, we can see how beneficial role these patient-specific anatomical models are playing in modern surgical procedures. And because of this, several large hospitals and medical research institutes are making use of 3d printing capabilities. Gartner, the American research firm in 2018, had already predicted that about 25% of surgeons by 2021 would be using 3d printed replicas for pre-surgical planning. It’s indeed true. Today, we are seeing patient-specific anatomy models that are increasingly being used in pre-surgical planning.
