Three D printed models help plan open Laryngotracheal surgery in children, Finds study
Preoperative planning of open laryngotracheal surgery is important for achieving good results. A recent research revealed that patient-specific three-dimensional printed models of children's upper airways were scored by pediatric airway surgeons as being moderately to very important for preoperative planning of open laryngotracheal surgery.
The study is published in the Journal of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery.
Oshri Wasserzug and colleagues from the Pediatric Otolaryngology Unit, Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Israel examined the surgeon's perception of the importance of using life size 3D printed models of the pediatric airway on surgical decision making.
Life-size three-dimensional models of the upper airway were created based on CT images of children scheduled for laryngotracheal-reconstruction and cricotracheal resection with anastomosis.
