Clinical cases

Abdominal Surgery

Our 3D printed models are widely used at IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo of Pavia to plan several surgical procedures.

Cardiology

3D printing provides a concrete and precise reproduction of the morphological and pathological aspects of the heart chambers.

Cardiosurgery

Multi-material 3D printing technology enables the tuning of deformability and transparency features.

Neurosurgery

3D printing allows a precise reproduction of the morphological and pathological characteristics of subtle cerebral vessels enabling neurosurgical planning and simulation.

Orthopedics

Most of the anatomical models relate to fractures (e.g. pelvis or heel fractures and spine trauma) and bone cancer.

Other Specialties

3D printing in medicine can support many other medical specialties.

Otolaryngology & Maxillo-Facial Surgery

Temporal bone 3D printed models can be used by surgeons to properly plan the placement of hearing aids and prosthesis.

Pediatric Surgery

High resolution 3D printers allow the reproduction of small anatomical structures such as pediatric ones.

Thoracic Surgery

Morphological abnormalities and pathologies interesting the cardio-pulmonar and mediastinic system are often highly complex not clearly visible on CT images.

Urology

3D printed models support the urologist in the surgical planning of renal intervention.

Vascular Surgery

3D printing provides a concrete and precise reproduction of the morphological and pathological aspects of a vascular lesion.
