In a joint effort between Buenos Aires hospitals, it was possible to develop surgical guides made of biocompatible materials, which allow for greater efficiency and reduce surgical and patient recovery times.

The Contemporary medicine Thanks to the app is experiencing a revolution 3D technology. Especially, in the field of surgery, this innovative tool became “Extraordinary Progress”According to experts in the field.
One of the main advantages of 3D technology in medicine is the possibility Schedule surgeries In more detail. This ability not only facilitates but also leads to patients' understanding of the process More precise interventions and with reduced recovery time.
Last March, the Arturo Jaretce National University (UNAJ) He opened it Biomodel and 3D Printing Lab In conjunction with El Cruz HospitalLocated in the city Florencio VarelaIn Buenos Aires. The lab has developed surgical guides made of biocompatible materials, marking a milestone in the efficiency of procedures and advancing patient recovery.

Ignacio MarollaA reference to the laboratory, 3D medicine allows for the customization of procedures, highlighting specific cases. Post-traumatic brain swellingAccurate planning translates into less invasive procedures and faster recovery.
“When the patient has an accident and the brain swells, a cut becomes ventilated without compressing the skull, and then, temporarily, the cut is replaced by a substance. With 3D technology you create perfect moldsIt fits perfectly and is manufactured in advance and with great precision,” he said.

Laboratory, equipped 3D printers, 3D scanner Y Other devicesworks in conjunction with Austral University HospitalIt was opened recently Institute of Medicine 3D (IM3D). This computer aided medical health center has created new options for diagnosis and also opens doors to other treatment options.
cases Bone tumors, where precise dissection is required, greatly benefits from 3D medicine. In addition, technology is used Explain the processes in detail For patients and their families, especially in pediatrics.

Despite these advances, it is important to clarify Responsible use of 3D technology in medicine. In this sense, experts emphasized the need for the responsible to make the right indication and decision, as 3D medicine is not suitable for all cases.
“Physicians and institutions should be responsible for which patients can use this technology because it is so necessary and other simple, traditional treatments work so well,” he said. Institute of Medicine 3D (IM3D), Marcos Galli Serra.

“We wanted to have a laboratory within the hospital Do not delegate printing to other centers And, in this way, provide all care in a comprehensive manner,” he pointed out. Galli SerraYar further highlighted, “This means surgeons, imaging specialists, biomedical engineers and We are all involved in the process“.
Looking to the future, we expect Significant progress In biological 3D printing, it opens up new opportunities in research and development. I see it as a way Advances in medical mattersPublic and private institutions are urged to engage in this research to further promote the 3D medical revolution.
