Applications of Three-Dimensional Printing Strategies in Human Medical Treatment: A Performance Analysis
摘要
3-D printing is a method for manufacturing a wide scope of structures and intricate topologies from three-dimensional information. Medicinal field keeps on perceiving the additional worth of 3D Printing at a quickly developing rate for a huge scope of restorative applications uncommonly in the development of new surgical guides, custom inserts, and prosthetic just as the making of patient-explicit imitations of corpse and organs. Use of 3D printing techniques on patients increased because of continually improving features of three-dimensional printing utilizations. The objective of this study is to outline the performance analysis on human surgery and ingress the use of 3D printing. A methodical writing survey was directed utilizing the Web of Science and Scopus databases. 101 research studies were analyzed and summarized which depicted the utilization of three-dimensional printing for prosthetics, anatomical models, patient specific implants and surgical guides. This technology is practiced in numerous surgery disciplines, such as spine, dentistry, cranial, cardio-vascular, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and maxillofacial surgery. Selected research studies recommend numerous benefits to three-dimensional printed utilizations such as reduced surgical-treatment time, improved clinical outcome, reduced radiation exposure, reduced blood loss volume during surgery, low post-operative complications and better accuracy of printed parts. This study was focused to bring a broad picture on the utilizations of 3-D printing technology in bio-medical engineering. Applications vary as prosthetics to surgical guides to custom implants and models selection for surgical planning. Studies suggests the 3D-printed applications have numerous advantages but needed further research to recognize whether three-dimensional printing is financially savvy for all the bio-medical utilizations and patients or not. Also, further research studies would be required to assess the impact of usage of 3-D printing technology especially in postoperative complications, health recovery rate of patient, communication between patient and doctor about surgery and satisfaction level of patient.
