The goal of this study was to review the current application and status of three-dimensional printing for craniosynostosis surgery.
A literature review was performed using the PubMed/MEDLINE databases for studies published between 2010 and 2020. All studies demonstrating the utilization of three-dimensional printing for craniosynostosis surgery were included.
A total of 15 studies were ultimately selected. This includes studies demonstrating novel three-dimensional simulation and printing workflows, studies utilizing three-dimensional printing for surgical simulation, as well as case reports describing prior experiences.
The incorporation of three-dimensional printing into the domain of craniosynostosis surgery has many potential benefits. This includes streamlining surgical planning, developing patient-specific template guides, enhancing residency training, as well as aiding in patient counseling. However, the current state of the literature remains in the validation stage. Further study with larger case series, direct comparisons with control groups, and prolonged follow-up times is necessary before more widespread implementation is justified.
本研究旨在综述三维打印技术在颅缝早闭手术中的应用现状。
通过 PubMed/MEDLINE 数据库检索了 2010 年至 2020 年发表的研究，纳入所有展示三维打印技术在颅缝早闭手术中应用的研究。
最终共纳入 15 项研究，包括展示三维模拟和打印新工作流程的研究、用于手术模拟的三维打印研究，以及描述既往经验的病例报告。
将三维打印技术引入颅缝早闭手术领域具有许多潜在优势，包括简化手术规划、制作患者特异性模板导板、加强住院医师培训以及辅助患者咨询。但是，目前文献的研究现状仍处于验证阶段。需要更大的病例系列研究、与对照组的直接比较以及更长的随访时间，才能为更广泛的应用提供依据。
