China's first application of 3D printing technology in the world to treat urinary diseases successfully

Release date: 2016-09-22

Recently, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine Renji Hospital, South Hospital urologist first application of 3D printing technique in the treatment of urinary function disorders global success. This not only means that the hospital has made important progress in the field of surgical treatment of functional urinary diseases, but also laid a solid foundation for the "high precision" of the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases in the future.

3D printing is a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technique for constructing objects by layer-by-layer printing based on digital model files and using adhesive materials such as powder metal or plastic. 3D printing is usually implemented using digital technology material printers. It is often used in mold manufacturing, industrial design, etc., and is used in the direct manufacturing of products with high precision requirements. The technology is currently used in a wide range of applications in industrial design, construction, engineering and construction. According to Lu Jianwei, deputy director of urology who used this technology for the first time, the technology can accurately simulate the physical morphology, and help the medical team fully understand the anatomical features of the patient's radial nerve and pupil before the sacral nerve stimulator is implanted. Allows the team to better design the puncture implant solution. In the past, because the pupil of the person was only 2mm in size, it was very difficult to implant the electrode during the operation. It often took several hours to successfully complete the puncture. Both the patient and the medical staff had to face the danger of prolonged exposure to radiation. After adopting this technology, the 3D model tailored for the patient can be placed in the surgical site during the operation, and the puncture can be performed according to the pre-retained "puncture point", which can be completed in 2-5 minutes. The earth shortens the operation time, reduces the postoperative complications, improves the quality of the sacral nerve regulation surgery, and provides an effective guarantee for the patient's treatment effect.

Xue Wei, director of the Department of Urology at Renji Hospital, said that this is the first time in the world to apply 3D printing technology to the field of therapeutic urinary diseases. The hospital is currently applying for a national invention patent for the technology. The success of this technology not only marks the beginning of the urinary tract disease treatment into the era of precision medicine, but also lays a good foundation for more accurate and minimally invasive treatment of urinary system diseases. With the requirements of precision medicine and rapid rehabilitation medicine, the application of 3D printing technology will become more and more extensive and become one of the hot spots in the development of medical field.
