#Doctors use 3d printing to aid successful open-heart surgery on four-year old Jan 15, 2015 By Simon Born with a heart condition that resulted in her having two open heart surgeries before the time she was even four years old, Adaenelie Gonzalez, a four-year old from Miami, Florida in the United states,
However unlike her previous open heart surgeries, the use of 3d printing enabled doctors to perform a third open heart surgery last week that may just be her last.
At one point, the doctor even said that they were out of options. seriously, I kind of lost hope.
the doctor ran the possibility of tragically killing the young girl if any steps in the surgery went awry.
Even though the doctors were previously able to study Gonzalez condition using traditional two-dimensional scans, the data proved to be not as informative as they needed for operating. wasn going to operate on her based on the data that we already had said
#Chinese doctor removes kidney tumor with the aid of a 3d printed replica May 23, 2015 By Simonwhile wee seen how developments to additive manufacturing technologies have helped both bring down the cost of getting something 3d printing as well as delivering results faster,
More recently, doctors at the Xiangya Hospital of Urology at Central South University in China were able to leverage 3d printing technology in an effort to help successfully remove a tumor from a 60-year-old woman kidney.
Thanks to the use of a 3d printed model in advance of the surgical procedure, the doctors were not only able to remove the tumor-but also save the kidney itself;
the doctors were able to pinpoint necessary locations for incisions and other details that would ultimately lead the surgery to success. On May 11th,
the ones with the greatest impact are surely those that help doctors, save lives and improve the quality of life of the poor and underprivileged.
Thanks to this successful backing, the Peek can now also be ordered pre by doctors. This project has been devised by Andrew Bastawrous, Stewart Jordan, Kate Tarling and Mario Giardini,

#3d-printed model heart helps doctors save a little girl's life We've seen several accounts of 3d printing being used to save the lives of patients
After a few band-aid surgeries that proved to be temporary fixes doctors knew they needed to come up with a solution.
Using the 3d-printed model the doctors were able to plan a surgery that hadn't been performed before using parts from a donor heart
