3D打印技术应用于耳鼻咽喉科临床前瞻创新

目的 随着计算机技术不断进步、新型材料大量问世及制作成本下降,3D打印作为当今制造业前沿技术现已广泛应用于各种医疗过程尤其是外科专业,在耳鼻咽喉科领域目前主要应用于假体制造及植入、术前规划、模型重建和技能训练及教学等方面。通过定制个性化植入物及手术器械缩短手术时间、降低手术成本,通过术前规划及模型演练降低手术副损伤。近年来,组织工程学、活体组织器官的复合打印技术作为3D打印的潜在应用也得到了广泛的探索。论文主要讨论3D打印技术在耳鼻咽喉科领域的扩大应用及研究前景。

Latest research progress of 3D printing technology and clinical applications in otorhinolaryngology

With advances of computer technology, the emergence of new materials, and the decline in production costs, 3D printing technology has been widely used in various medical processes, especially surgery. In the field of otolaryngology, 3D printing is mainly used in prosthesis manufacturing and implantation, preoperative planning, model reconstruction, surgical skills training, and medical education. Operation times is shortened and the goal of reducing costs can be achieved by using personalized implants and customized surgical instruments. Furthermore, surgical side injuries are reduced through preoperative planning and model exercises. In recent years, tissue-engineered grafts and the complex printing of viable tissues and organs have been explored as another potential application of 3D printing. This article mainly discusses the application and study prospect of 3D printing within the field of Otorhinolaryngology.
