On January 17th, Yichang First People's Hospital used 3D printing technology for high-risk complex spinal revision surgery for the first time to help three-dimensional visualization and precise positioning during the operation. It became the first case in Yichang to apply 3D printing technology to complex spine.
The patient Xiong Zuowen is a native of Xingshan County at the age of 60. In October 2014, the patient unfortunately fell to the lumbar vertebrae fracture and caused paralysis, and there were neurological symptoms such as numbness and weakness in both lower extremities. The First People's Hospital of Yichang City performed a spinal fusion procedure in a metal-fixed manner. The operation was very successful, and Xiong Zuowen was able to stand up again. But in the recovery of the year, Xiong Zuowen found that he often had symptoms of numbness in his limbs.
On January 8 this year, Xiong Zuowen once again came to the First People's Hospital of Yichang City for examination. Through CT, it was found that a part of the lumbar vertebrae still had a broken bone to oppress the peripheral nerves. It is this broken bone that causes the bear composition to appear in the limbs and other symptoms. .
"If you want to fix this problem, you must take out the broken bones," said Zhou Caisheng, deputy director of the Department of Orthopaedics, Yichang First People's Hospital. "But the spine surgery itself is a high-risk, high-risk operation. The patient is still undergoing 2 operations, due to the physical memory retention. It will have a certain impact when it comes to CT."
In order to solve this problem in the operation, the Department of Orthopaedics of the First People's Hospital of Yichang City decided to use 3D printing technology to print out the spine through data simulation. The internal situation that can not be seen on the CT map can be seen before the operation.
Yi Tao, deputy director of the Department of Orthopaedics of the First People's Hospital of Yichang City, is both an orthopaedic surgeon in the hospital and a core member of the 3D digital bone science research team. “We have been studying 3D digital surgery since 2009 and are leading in the industry.†Tao Tao said, “After processing the multi-angle CT data into 3D data, we quickly produced this patient with 3D printing technology 1: 1 The three-dimensional model of the spine shows the internal condition of the spinal fracture in a three-dimensional and accurate manner, and finally the patient performs the operation accurately and quickly.
"The application of 3D technology in the medical industry can create individualized 3D virtual models and 3D solid models for each patient, so that doctors can clearly and intuitively and comprehensively understand the condition before surgery, and improve the surgical results." "This technical means can be widely used not only in hospital surgery, but also in many fields such as cosmetic surgery, and will become the mainstream auxiliary means for the future medical industry."
Due to adequate preoperative preparation, accurate intraoperative positioning, and reduced surgical trauma, shortened operation time and cost, the patient's bear composition has recovered well after surgery and will be discharged before the hospital.
