Triple Perspective of 3D Modelling as a planning tool for a Pelvic Chondrosarcoma case
How do top surgeons, researchers, and engineers collaborate to tackle one of the most challenging orthopedic cases? We sat down with Dr. Schwab MD, MS, the director of Spine Oncology for Orthopaedic Surgery and the Cedars-Sinai Center for Surgical Innovation and Engineering, Gage Olson is a Clinical Research Coordinator, and Marissa Hight is a Senior […]
Improving pre-operative planning with anatomical 3D modeling: Removing a maxillary sinus tumor
The Case An 85-year-old male presented with a large lower-eyelid, cheek and nasal tumor. The tumor’s size and location was causing both orbital invasion and maxillary invasion and needed surgical intervention. Working with 299 CT images from the hospital, Axial3D produced two 3D printed models and a 3D visualization to support pre-operative planning for the […]
How 3D printing enabled a life-saving surgery on a complex spinal sarcoma
Pre-operative planning is crucial to delivering successful surgery, thereby delivering optimum patient outcomes. The arrival of 3D printed anatomical models has revolutionized how surgeons obtain the critical insights that are needed before performing complex surgical procedures, leading to better outcomes for patients. With the help of Axial3D, Mr. Alistair Irwin was able to successfully remove […]
3D Model Helps Surgeons with a Resection of Liver Cancer Surgery
The Case Facing limitations with his patient’s 2D scans, a surgeon at one of Europe’s largest hospitals opted for a precision 3D model from Axial3D. This decision aimed to improve visualization of the patient’s condition, aiding informed decision-making and avoiding potential procedure postponement or cancellation. The Solution In a matter of hours, Axial3D […]
Making Nasal Cancer Surgery Shorter and Safer with Better Outcomes
The Case This individual presented with a challenging case of tumor infiltration, affecting both his nasal sinuses and upper lip. Given the tumor’s extensive spread, his surgical team faced the critical task of devising the most effective strategy for its removal. This necessitated thorough consideration of various factors, including the tumor’s size, location, and proximity […]
3D printed anatomical model supports informed patient consent ahead of meningioma surgery
The Case A 45-year-old male presented at Barts Hospital London with a meningioma, which is a tumor that forms on membranes covering the brain and spinal cord just inside the skull. This particular case is referred to as a skull base tumor given its location. The clinical team faced difficulty in localizing the tumor on […]
3D maxillofacial model helps surgeon plan much less invasive procedure and reduces theater time by over 60 minutes
Case A patient exhibited a paranasal sinus tumor, particularly concerning as it occupied the frontal sinus of the skull, potentially necessitating invasive intervention. To strategize the optimal approach—whether via endoscopic nasal surgery or through cranial access—a 3D printed model was requested to guide the clinical team in planning the tumor’s removal. The Solution […]
