Evaluation of the accuracy of three-dimensionally printed patient-specific guides for transsphenoidal hypophysectomy in small-breed dogs

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To assess the accuracy of transsphenoidal hypophysectomy using 3-D printed patient-specific guides (3D-PSGs) in small-breed dogs. ANIMALS Heads obtained from the cadavers of 19 small-breed dogs (ex vivo portion of study) and 3 healthy adult (3 to 4 years) purpose-bred Beagles with a median body weight of 9.2 kg. PROCEDURES In the ex vivo study, CT images of the cadavers were collected. The position, width, and length of the pituitary fossa and the pilot hole (insertion angle and place) were measu… Show more

“…A recent study from colleagues in Korea, using experimental dogs under 8.5 kg, performed coincidentally and in parallel to ours, also reports that a 3D surgical guide for transsphenoidal hypophysectomy provides an accurate reading of the entry point into the outer cortical layer of the basisphenoid bone (24). These authors have not tested their device in companion dogs affected by pituitary dependent-hyperadrenocorticism (24). They focus on the accuracy of a single pilot hole indicating the center of the sella turcica that is later extended in a rectangular shape in cranio-caudal and latero-lateral directions (24).…”

“…These authors have not tested their device in companion dogs affected by pituitary dependent-hyperadrenocorticism ( 24 ). They focus on the accuracy of a single pilot hole indicating the center of the sella turcica that is later extended in a rectangular shape in cranio-caudal and latero-lateral directions ( 24 ). The pre-operative planned measures were 6 mm in width and 8 mm in length, and the post-operative measures had a median of 5.17 mm width and 7.51 mm length, therefore similar to the precision we achieved ( 24 ).…”

“…A visualization system was used to improve the visualization of the surgical field (Figure 4). 33 Next, an incision on the dorsal AA membrane was made on the more compressed section. A 10-mm, 0° rigid laparoscope (autoclavable laparoscope; Stryker) was used and attached to a high-definition camera system (Stryker Endoscopy) when using the endoscopic system to magnify the surgical site.…”

“…Both were printed using the RS6000 3D printer (Uniotech, Shanghai, China) according to a previously described protocol (20). Printing and sterilization of the 3D bone models and the PSP prior to the real surgery required ∼1 day (20). The surgical procedure was based on sphenoid-wing craniectomy (22)(23)(24).…”
