Abstract

Utilisation of 3D printers has increased in medicine as well as other fields thanks to developing technology. There are lots of opportunities to utilize them in the medical field. There are several steps consisting image acquisition to surface post processing in 3D printing. In neurosurgery, there are lots of topics which can utilize 3D printing technology. Education of young neurosurgeons, preoperative planning and preperation, orientation to intraoperative anatomy, surgeon-patient communication and better understanding of informed consent period, design and production of new surgical instruments are among them. Besides, there are some drawbacks like, long duration of printing process, possible costs and resolution and texture quality of acquired models waiting for possible solutions. 3D printing is a promising technology in medical field. It has a potential to revolutionize surgical treatment as becomes widespread and cheaper.

Abstract

Her an gelişmekte olan teknoloji ile birlikte tıp alanında da 3B yazıcıların kullanımı doğal olarak bir artış göstermiştir. Tıp alanında kullanımlarını sağlayacak pek çok fırsat yer almaktadır. 3B yazımda görüntü eldesinden yüzey iyileştirmeye kadar izlenecek pek çok basamak yer almaktadır. Nöroşirurji pratiğinde 3B yazıcıların kullanılabileceği çok sayıda alan vardır. Bunlar arasında genç nöroşirurjiyenlerin eğitimi, preoperatif planlama ve hazırlık, intraoperatif anatomiye oryantasyon, cerrah-hasta iletişimi ve aydınlatılmış onam sürecinin daha anlaşılır ve verimli hale getirilmesi, yeni cerrahi alet tasarım ve üretimi gibi başlıklar yer almaktadır. 3B yazıcıların bu faydalarına rağmen basım sürecinin uzun zaman alması, olası maliyetler ve elde edilen modellerin çözünürlük ve doku kaliteleri gibi çözülmeyi bekleyen problemleri de vardır. 3B yazıcı teknolojisi tıp alanında gelecek vaat etmektedir. Bu teknolojini yaygınlaşmasıyla maliyetleri daha da düşebilecek olup cerrahi hasta tedavisinde yenilikler getirebilme potansiyeline sahiptir.
