“…The literature regarding the utility of patient specific 3D printed models for educational purposes in this scoping review appears limited. However, during our review of the literature, we did note that there is more significant data regarding the use of non-patient specific 3D printed models in education in gynecology [55][56][57]. Unfortunately, these were excluded from our scoping review due to the non-patient specific nature of the 3D printed models.…”

Objective Developments in 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology has made it possible to produce high quality, affordable 3D printed models for use in medicine. As a result, there is a growing assessment of this approach being published in the medical literature. The objective of this study was to outline the clinical applications of individualized 3D printing in gynecology through a scoping review. Data sources Four medical databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus) and grey literature were searched for publications meeting eligibility criteria up to 31 May 2021. Study eligibility criteria Publications were included if they were published in English, had a gynecologic context, and involved production of patient specific 3D printed product(s). Study appraisal and synthesis methods Studies were manually screened and assessed for eligibility by two independent reviewers and data were extracted using pre-established criteria using Covidence software. Results Overall, 32 studies (15 abstracts,17 full text articles) were included in the scoping review. Most studies were either case reports (12/32,38%) or case series (15/32,47%). Gynecologic sub-specialties in which the 3D printed models were intended for use included: gynecologic oncology (21/32,66%), benign gynecology (6/32,19%), pediatrics (2/32,6%), urogynecology (2/32,6%) and reproductive endocrinology and infertility (1/32,3%). Twenty studies (63%) printed 5 or less models, 6/32 studies (19%) printed greater than 5 (up to 50 models). Types of 3D models printed included: anatomical models (11/32,34%), medical devices, (2/32,6%) and template/guide/cylindrical applicators for brachytherapy (19/32,59%). Conclusions Our scoping review has outlined novel clinical applications for individualized 3D printed models in gynecology. To date, they have mainly been used for production of patient specific 3D printed brachytherapy guides/applicators in patients with gynecologic cancer. However, individualized 3D printing shows great promise for utility in surgical planning, surgical education, and production of patient specific devices, across gynecologic subspecialties. Evidence supporting the clinical value of individualized 3D printing in gynecology is limited by studies with small sample size and non-standardized reporting, which should be the focus of future studies.

“…In a study focusing on paediatric straddle injury repair, 3D paediatric vulvar models were utilised to simulate surgical experiences and proved effective teaching tools. Participants’ knowledge scores improved by an impressive 85% after utilising the models alongside a didactic session 15 . In another study, 3D-printed injection moulds were employed to construct gynaecologic surgical simulation models using polyvinyl alcohol.…”

With the increasing demand for quality healthcare and the scarcity of resources, medical education in Africa faces numerous challenges. Traditional teaching methods often need help to adequately prepare medical students for the complex and diverse healthcare scenarios they will encounter in practice. 3D printing technology holds significant promise in addressing these challenges by providing innovative solutions for medical education. This review examines the various applications of 3D printing in medical education, focusing on its potential to enhance anatomy education, surgical training, and medical device development. It explores how 3D printing can offer realistic and customisable anatomical models, enabling students to understand human anatomy better and improve their surgical skills through realistic simulations. Furthermore, this paper discusses the potential of 3D printing in developing low-cost medical devices, prosthetics, and surgical instruments, which can significantly benefit resource-limited settings in Africa. It explores the concept of distributed manufacturing, where 3D printing can decentralise the production of essential medical equipment, reducing reliance on external suppliers and improving access to healthcare. The review also highlights the challenges and limitations associated with implementing 3D printing in medical education in Africa, such as limited infrastructure, high costs, and the need for specialised training. However, it presents successful initiatives and collaborations that have overcome these obstacles, demonstrating the feasibility and potential impact of integrating 3D printing into medical education in Africa.
