To help understand the three-dimensional (3D) spatial relationships among the highly complex structures of the pelvis, we made a novel 3D pelvic model with a 3D printing system. We created two pelvic models including the muscles, vessels, nerves, and urogenital organs; the first based on the pelvic anatomy of a healthy male volunteer and the second on the pelvic anatomy of a female volunteer with rectal cancer. The models clearly demonstrated the complicated spatial relationships between anatomical structures in the pelvis. Surgeons could use these models to improve their spatial understanding of pelvic anatomy, which could consequently improve the safety and efficiency of laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery.
为了帮助理解骨盆中高度复杂结构的三维（3D）空间关系，我们使用 3D 打印系统制作了一个新颖的 3D 骨盆模型。我们创建了两个包括肌肉、血管、神经和泌尿生殖器官在内的骨盆模型；第一个模型基于健康男性志愿者的骨盆解剖结构，第二个模型基于患有直肠癌的女性志愿者的骨盆解剖结构。这些模型清楚地展示了骨盆中解剖结构之间复杂的空间关系。外科医生可以使用这些模型来提高对骨盆解剖结构的空间理解，从而提高腹腔镜直肠癌手术的安全性和效率。
