The future of transplants goes through 3D printers, because one day organs compatible with the human being will be printed. But now doctors are already benefiting from these printers. CWith them they manufacture organs of specific patients, on a real scale, to rehearse operations before entering the operating room.
They print livers or pancreases, each unique, from a specific person with a name and surname. “It is a completely faithful model of reality with the same size as the pathology”, explains Miguel Ángel Navarro, head of engineering at Cella Medical Solutions.
It is a company from Murcia that uses medical tests such as X-rays or ultrasounds to recreate the pathology of each patient: lesions, malformations or tumors.
The first version they obtain is digital and offers invaluable information for doctors. “Resolves important issues surgeons have when managing complex surgery. This is the training, the planning and the execution of the surgery”, points out Darío García, general director of the company.
Thus, surgeons can prepare operations with more precision and can know in advance what they will find when they open the operating room. They represent veins in blue, arteries in red, and lesions such as tumors in yellow.
Having the model in the operating room reduces the time of the operation and the risks. This exponentially increases the success of interventions. An invaluable instrument for the precision medicine of the most innovative in the world.
