Surgeons develop personalized 3-D printed kidney to simulate surgery prior to cancer operation |
April 15, 2014
For the first time, surgeons have used 3-D printing to produce exact models of tumor-containing kidneys, allowing them to simulate surgery prior to the real operation. These models can be personalized to each patient, giving doctors a 3-D model of each individual’s tumor. The ability to produce exact 3-dimensional models of objects means that 3D printing is set to revolutionize many fields.
