This is a case example on the concept of personalized precision medicine in a surgical setting and demonstrates how 3D-printed, patient-specific implants may bring individualized solutions to rare problems wherein restoration of the specific anatomy of each patient is a key prognostic factor.

On the basis of current evidence, TEP as a modified and more complex laparoscopic procedure than TAPP, did not lead to a significant difference in aspects of clinical outcomes and complications. Therefore, we firstly recommended TAPP for laparoscopic hernia repair, especially for nonexpert surgeons. Further choices would be made according to the specific clinical characteristics of patients and surgeons.

The cervical alignment correlates with their global spine and pelvic curves. And lordosis is not the only presentation in asymptomatic subjects. The degenerative modification of cervical disc angles was the compensation of global spine degeneration for horizontal gaze. Cervical angles are influenced by their TK angles, occipital-C2 joint and the tilt of T1 vertebral body. The occipital-C2 joint has a compensating mechanism in all Roussouly types in cervical spondylosis.
