Urology is one of the fields that are always at the frontline of bringing scientific advancements into clinical practice, including 3D printing (3DP). This study aims to discuss and presents the current role of 3D-printed phantoms and devices for organ-specified applications in urology. The discussion started with a literature search regarding the two mentioned topics within PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and EBSCOhost databases. 3D-printed urological organ phantoms are reported for providing residents new insight regarding anatomical characteristics of organs, either normal or diseased, in a tangible manner. Furthermore, 3D-printed organ phantoms also helped urologists to prepare a pre-surgical planning strategy with detailed anatomical models of the diseased organs. In some centers, 3DP technology also contributed to developing specified devices for disease management. To date, urologists have been benefitted by 3D-printed phantoms and devices in the education and disease management of organs of in the genitourinary system, including kidney, bladder, prostate, ureter, urethra, penis, and adrenal. It is safe to say that 3DP technology can bring remarkable changes to daily urological practices.
泌尿外科是始终处于将科学进步引入临床实践前沿的领域之一，包括3D打印（3DP）。本研究旨在讨论并介绍3D打印模型和设备在泌尿外科特定器官应用中的当前作用。讨论始于在PubMed、Embase、Scopus和EBSCOhost数据库中对上述两个主题进行文献检索。据报道，3D打印的泌尿外科器官模型能够以直观的方式为住院医师提供有关正常或患病器官解剖特征的新见解。此外，3D打印的器官模型还帮助泌尿外科医生利用患病器官的详细解剖模型制定术前规划策略。在一些中心，3DP技术也有助于开发用于疾病管理的特定设备。迄今为止，泌尿外科医生在泌尿生殖系统器官（包括肾脏、膀胱、前列腺、输尿管、尿道、阴茎和肾上腺）的教育和疾病管理方面受益于3D打印模型和设备。可以肯定地说，3DP技术能够给日常泌尿外科实践带来显著变化。
