Investigation on Using 3D Printed Liver during Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study based on ethnographic methods, we investigated how using a three-dimensional (3D) printed liver influenced doctors during liver resection surgery. Results of the analyses implied that using the 3D printed liver enhanced the construction of elaborate mental models of patients’ livers, the mental simulation of liver resections, and the construction of shared mental models of patients’ livers among doctors. Based on these results, we compared the advantages of using a 3D printed liver over a two-dimensional (2D) and a 3D image during surgery.

INTRODUCTION The 3D printing model of the intrahepatic vessels and regional anatomy are often used for navigation surgery. Here, we report the use of the model for anatomical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma. PRESENTATION OF CASE Case 1: A tumor, 31mm in diameter, was located in segment 7 of the liver. Using the 3D model, we identified the regional Glissonian pedicle and performed resect...

Introduction Skeletal deformity correction is a procedure of high aesthetic and functional demand. Therefore, meticulous surgical planning has always been mandatory. However, it is known that during the surgery things may often get slippery, leaving the surgeon no chance but improvisation. Because of this shortcoming it is not a rare occasion to find unhappy patients that have undergone deformi...
