摘要

The word “plastic” was derived from the Latin “plasticus” or Greek “plastikos,” meaning to mold or form. Since ancient times, man has been attempting to modify and reshape the human body. The term “Plastic surgery” was used by Eduard Zeis in Berlin in 1838. We stand on the brink of a new era in the medical profession, in terms of the treatment of patients, care of patients, assistance to physicians and surgeons in the form of learning to execute, pharmaceutical research, etc. Three-dimensional (3D) printing represents a technological breakthrough with transformative implications for medicine, particularly in plastic and reconstructive surgery. This technology enables the layer-by-layer fabrication of physical objects based on digital models, offering unparalleled precision and customization. Its applications span preoperative planning, surgical execution, and postoperative rehabilitation, marking a significant advancement over conventional techniques.
