The use of a 3D model for patient education has shown encouraging results in surgical specialties like plastic surgery and neurosurgery, amongst many others; however, there is limited research on the clinical application of 3D models for Mohs Micrographic Surgery. This study delves into the utilization of 3D models for patient education in Mohs Surgery by juxtaposing different 3D modalities, highlighting their differences, and exploring potential avenues for future integration of 3D models into clinical practice. A literature search in the scientific database MEDLINE through PubMed and OVID and on the ProQuest Health & Medical Collection database was performed on the use of a 3D model for patient education. We limited the search to articles available in English and considered those mentioning the educational use of 3D models, especially for patient education, after excluding duplicate titles. We did not exclude articles based on publication year due to limited availability of literature. Utilizing 3D models for patient education within the framework of Mohs Micrographic surgery, including a 3D multicolored clay model and a 3D model accompanied by an educational video intervention, presents substantial advantages. 3D models offer a visual and tactile means to improve patients' comprehension of the Mohs procedure, the affected area, and possible outcomes. They hold the potential to reduce patient anxiety and improve decision-making. Currently, literature on the use of 3D models for patient education in Mohs Micrographic Surgery is limited, warranting further research in this area.
在整形外科和神经外科等众多外科专业中，使用3D模型进行患者教育已取得了令人鼓舞的成果；然而，关于3D模型在莫氏显微外科手术临床应用方面的研究却很有限。本研究通过对比不同的3D模式，深入探讨了3D模型在莫氏手术患者教育中的应用，突出它们的差异，并探索将3D模型未来整合到临床实践中的潜在途径。通过PubMed和OVID在科学数据库MEDLINE以及ProQuest健康与医学数据库中对使用3D模型进行患者教育的情况进行了文献检索。我们将搜索范围限制为英文文章，并在排除重复标题后，考虑那些提及3D模型教育用途的文章，特别是用于患者教育的文章。由于文献数量有限，我们没有根据发表年份排除文章。在莫氏显微外科手术框架内使用3D模型进行患者教育，包括3D彩色黏土模型和伴有教育视频干预的3D模型，具有显著优势。3D模型提供了一种视觉和触觉手段，以提高患者对莫氏手术过程、受影响区域和可能结果的理解。它们有可能减轻患者的焦虑并改善决策。目前，关于在莫氏显微外科手术中使用3D模型进行患者教育的文献有限，因此该领域值得进一步研究。
