Abstract:
At present, surgical treatment is the most effective method for the treatment of hepatobiliary malignant tumor. However, due to the complex anatomical structure of hepatobiliary region, accompanied by vascular variation, and with the continuous update of medical concepts, the requirements for surgery are more strict. Traditional imaging examination has reached a bottleneck in the support of surgical treatment, while 3D printing technology is compared with the former. It showed strong advantages in preoperative program planning and improving the effect of intraoperative precise resection. At the same time, it also shows great potential for medical assistance and disease treatment in the production of bioactive models, and 3D printing technology has obviously enhanced the understanding of surgery for young doctors, and medical staff can create a variety of highly practical 3D printing models under the existing conditions. In the future, it is expected to overcome the limitations of materials and technology and bring higher therapeutic benefits for the majority of patients.
