3D printing technology has evolved over the years and there is a growing interest in its application in paediatric neurosurgery. Modern 3D printers have enabled the development of patient-specific 3D models that provide a realistic representation of complex anatomies and will aid in planning complex procedures. Paediatric neurosurgical operations are challenging and hands-on training is restricted. Surgical simulation training with biomodel has provided a new paradigm for trainees to master their surgical skills before encountering similar scenarios in real-life environment. This paper reviews the aspects of 3D printing for preoperative planning and simulation-based surgical training in paediatric neurosurgery.
3D 打印技术近年来发展迅速，其在儿科神经外科中的应用也引起了越来越多的关注。现代 3D 打印机使个体化 3D 模型的开发成为可能，这种模型能够真实地呈现复杂的解剖结构，并有助于规划复杂的手术。儿科神经外科手术具有挑战性，实际操作的培训受到限制。使用生物模型进行手术模拟训练为学员提供了一个新的范例，使他们能够在真实环境中遇到类似情况之前掌握自己的手术技能。本文回顾了 3D 打印在儿科神经外科术前规划和基于模拟的手术培训方面的应用。
