“…The results from our study support the notion that 3-D models can facilitate patient–physician communication. This conclusion is likely generalizable beyond the specific pathologies depicted in the study models to other reconstructive surgeries, such as for craniosynostosis [18].…”

Purpose 3-D printing is an increasingly widespread technology that allows physical models to be constructed based on cross-sectional medical imaging data. We sought to develop a pipeline for production of 3-dimensional (3-D) models for presurgical planning and assess the value of these models for surgeons and patients. Methods In this institutional review board–approved, single-center case series, participating surgeons identified cases for 3-D model printing, and after obtaining patient consent, a 3-D model was produced for each of the 7 participating patients based on preoperative cross-sectional imaging. Each model was given to the surgeon to use during the surgical consent discussion and preoperative planning. Patients and surgeons completed questionnaires evaluating the quality and usefulness of the models. Results The 3-D models improved surgeon confidence in their operative approach, influencing the choice of operative approach in the majority of cases. Patients and surgeons reported that the model improved patient comprehension of the surgery during the consent discussion, including risks and benefits of the surgery. Model production time was as little as 4 days, and the average per-model cost was $350. Conclusions 3-D printed models are useful presurgical tools from both surgeon and patient perspectives. Development of local hospital-based 3-D printing capabilities enables model production with rapid turnaround and modest cost, representing a value-added service for radiologists to offer their surgical colleagues.

“…Rapid prototyping or 3-dimensional (3D) printing has recently gained a great interest among medical professionals to deliver personalized medicine based on patient-specific anatomical data. Three-dimensional printing has been frequently used in multiple health-care sectors including interventional radiology (Itagaki, 2015), cardiology (Farooqi et al, 2016), radiation oncology (Burleson et al, 2015), urology (Youssef et al, 2015), and surgery (Hoch et al, 2014; Chae et al, 2015; Malik et al, 2015; Obregon et al, 2015; Schmauss et al, 2015; Weinstock et al, 2015; Anderson et al, 2016; Mulford et al, 2016; Ghizoni et al, 2017) for surgical planning, intraoperative guidance, and the production of custom implants.…”

“…Its broad applicability includes the field of craniofacial surgery. [4][5][6][7] Although simulation-based training models can be useful, they lack realism as there is no bleeding or change in vital signs. There are no articles describing the learning curve for FOA craniosynostosis on actual patients.…”

Mastering the techniques of craniofacial surgery is difficult owing to the small number of cases and the special skills required. To improve the outcomes of craniofacial surgery in Japan, the authors charted the progress of a craniofacial surgeon by reviewing the results for the 100 consecutive craniosynostosis cases, in which the authors performed fronto-orbital advancement (FOA). in this study, all FOA surgeries were performed by the first author beginning in 2012. The number of FOA surgeries previously performed by the surgeon at the time of the current surgery served as an indicator of his level of experience; the cases were grouped in 5 consecutive sets of 20. The preparation time before the operation, the operative time, and the amount of bleeding were retrospectively investigated. The operative and preparation times decreased as the surgeon's experience increased until a plateau was reached after 41 to 60 surgeries. Increases in operative time also corresponded to decreases in the amount of bleeding. Everyone has a learning curve, including surgeons performing craniofacial surgeries. Surgery is not performed by the surgeon alone. Reductions in preparation time, operative time, and the time needed to leave the operation room after the completion of the surgery were attributed to better collaborations with nurses and anesthesiologists. Hence, the growth of the team is very important to the success of the craniofacial surgeon and ensures safe and effective treatment of the patient.
