The purpose of this study was to investigate the usage of an anatomical model to improve surgical planning of a complex schwannoma resection. As advancements in additive manufacturing continue to prosper, new applications of this valuable technology are being implemented in the medical field. One of the most recent applications has been in the development of patient-specific anatomical models for unique clinical education as well as for preoperative planning. In this case, a multidisciplinary team with expertise in research, three-dimensional printing, and medicine was formed to develop a three-dimensional printed model that could be used to help plan the reduction of a tumor from the cervical spine of a pediatric patient. Image segmentation and stereolithography creation were accomplished using Mimics and 3-matic, respectively. Models were developed on two different printer types to view different aspects of the region of interest. Reports from the operating surgeon indicated that the model was instrumental in the planning procedures of the operation and reducing operation time.
本研究的目的是调查使用解剖模型来改进复杂神经鞘瘤切除术的手术规划。随着增材制造技术的不断进步，这项宝贵技术的新应用正在医学领域得到实施。最新的应用之一是开发针对独特临床教育以及术前规划的患者特异性解剖模型。在这个案例中，组建了一个由研究、三维打印和医学方面的专家组成的多学科团队，以开发一个三维打印模型，该模型可用于帮助规划一名儿科患者颈椎肿瘤的切除手术。图像分割和立体光刻创建分别使用Mimics和3-matic完成。在两种不同的打印机类型上开发模型，以查看感兴趣区域的不同方面。主刀医生的报告表明，该模型在手术规划过程中起到了重要作用，并缩短了手术时间。
