Release date: 2016-03-10 Recently, at the London Clinic private hospital, Professor Urology Prokar Dasgupta successfully removed prostate tumors for a 65-year-old patient from London, Alexander Spyrou. In this procedure, Dasgupta used a 3D printed model of the patient's tumor-bearing prostate. It is understood that this 3D printed prostate is a masterpiece of Clare Allen, a radiology expert at the London Clinic. It has brought unprecedented changes to prostate surgery, especially since this tumor is in a particularly important position. Professor Dasgupta explained: “Before I used robots to do prostate surgery, one of the disadvantages of this method was the lack of touch. Even though you can see the target more clearly in 3D, you can even magnify it 10 times. But you lost what you ultimately want - the touch to it. For this patient, I can feel the tumor in the 3D model and can feel how close the tumor is to the surface. Usually, we will imagine the tumor in our heart. The location, but here, when I was sitting on the console side of the Da Vinci robot, the model was on my hands. This model can help you get better accuracy in cancer surgery." "On the other hand, the erectile nerves are just on the sides of the prostate. We successfully removed the tumor while retaining these nerves. In addition, Mr. Spyrou's quality of life was not affected after the operation." Professor Urology Prokar Dasgupta Dr. Allen added: "Also, Mr. Spyrou's tumor is very close to the sphincter. The distance between the two is only 1 mm. Once the latter is damaged, it can easily lead to incontinence, so we can't affect the sphincter." So how is this 3D model of the prostate made? Based on the patient's MRI scan, Dr. Allen was able to mark the location of the tumor and generate a 3D model using MIM software, which was then printed by 3D printing company Nuada Medical. According to Tiangong, Alexander Spyrou was undergoing surgery in November 2015. He was also the first prostate cancer patient to undergo 3D printed model assisted surgery. Although radiation therapy is also an option, Spyrou still chose surgery. The entire operation took place for 2 hours, and the doctors opened 6 small incisions in the stomach area to facilitate the robot's arm. After the operation, the incisions were closed with a stud and removed 7 days later without causing pain. Spyrou said: "I have been recovering for two months after the operation. The catheter was removed after I returned home one week. I immediately resumed the control of the bladder. I feel better every day."
