What we're finding is the 3d printing is the output, but the whole mechanism of getting there involves first sitting on a computer, planning out your operation, making the maneuvers you have to first on the computer and then coming up with 3d prints that are helpful.
Ever wondered how cutting-edge technology is reshaping the medical field? Dr. Oren Tepper, a board-certified plastic surgeon, takes us on a fascinating journey into the world of 3D printing in this episode of 'Weekly Infusion'. Dr. Tepper, who works at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, has been at the forefront of using 3D printing to create precise models of facial deformities, skulls, and other anatomical structures.
These models serve as invaluable references during complex surgeries, allowing for unprecedented accuracy and customization. One of the most groundbreaking applications of this technology is in the surgical separation of conjoined twins. Dr. Tepper was part of a team that successfully separated twin boys conjoined at the head, using 3D printing to meticulously plan and execute the surgery. He emphasizes that the success of such procedures hinges on detailed planning and precision, made possible by 3D printing.
Beyond high-profile cases, 3D printing is revolutionizing everyday medical practices by enabling the creation of custom prosthetics and surgical tools tailored to individual patient needs. While the initial costs can be high, Dr. Tepper notes that the technology is becoming more accessible and affordable, promising a future where 3D printing is an integral part of medical care.
For anyone curious about how technology is transforming healthcare, this episode offers a compelling look at the innovative use of 3D printing in medicine. Dr. Tepper's insights highlight the potential for improved patient outcomes through meticulous planning and precision. Tune in to discover how this technology is helping doctors provide better care and achieve remarkable surgical feats.
