3D打印技术在脊柱肿瘤诊疗中的应用

Application of 3D printing technology on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal tumors

脊柱肿瘤是临床中的多发病,由于脊柱本身结构的特殊性和复杂性,脊柱肿瘤在手术方案制定和手术操作方面的难度也较大,全脊椎整块切除术是其外科治疗的根本。随着医学影像、计算机辅助设计与制造、快速数字化成型等技术的迅速发展,3D打印技术已初步应用于临床医学领域,并实现了对患者的个体化治疗,术中做到精准、完整地切除肿瘤,从而有效缩短手术时间,减少出血量,提高肿瘤切除的安全性和置钉准确率,且明显改善了患者预后及生活质量。本文将对3D打印技术在脊柱肿瘤疾病的治疗进展作一综述。

Spinal tumors are a frequently-occurring disease in the clinic.Due to the particularity and complexity of the spine itself,spinal tumors are more difficult in terms of surgical planning and surgical procedures.Whole-spine resection is the basis of surgical treatment.With the rapid development of technologies such as medical imaging,computer-aided design and manufacturing,and rapid digital forming,3D printing technology have been initially applied in the field of clinical medicine,and individualized treatments for patients have been realized.The tumor can be accurately and completely removed during operation,thereby effectively shortening the operation time,reducing the amount of bleeding,improving the safety of tumor resection and the accuracy of nail placement,and significantly improving the prognosis and quality of life of patients.This article will review the progress in the treatment of spinal tumor diseases with 3D printing technology.
