Three-dimensional printed liver models have been used for preoperative simulation. Unlike the standard three-dimensional system on a monitor, the three-dimensional printed model can be observed from any angle manually; therefore, surgeons can obtain a clear image directly from the model. We herein report the use of a unique three-dimensional liver model with a soft and transparent liver parenchyma. Through the parenchyma, the surgeons can observe the intrahepatic vessels and perform incisions in the model as a preoperative simulation. In this study, we applied this model to donor hepatectomy, which under most circumstances requires meticulous attention to detail. The actual processes and uses of a three-dimensional liver model in clinical surgery for liver transplantation are presented.
三维打印的肝脏模型已被用于术前模拟。与监视器上的标准三维系统不同，三维打印模型可以手动从任何角度进行观察；因此，外科医生可以直接从模型中获得清晰的图像。我们在此报告使用具有柔软透明肝实质的独特三维肝脏模型。通过肝实质，外科医生可以观察肝内血管并在模型上进行切口，作为术前模拟。在本研究中，我们将该模型应用于供肝切除术，这种手术在大多数情况下需要对细节进行细致的关注。本文介绍了三维肝脏模型在肝移植临床手术中的实际应用过程。
