Study the Importance and Usage of 3D Printing in Neurosurgery

Introduction3D printing (3D) includes techniques for creating 3D objects using computer data. 3D technology has many applications in medicine. Since its introduction in neurosurgery in 1999, 3D printing has shown its ability to perform neurosurgery. However, most imaging methods include X-rays (CT) and (MRI) images in both dimensional (2D) or 3D volumes in 2D slices. Since most surgical and pathological proceduresThe relevant neurological surgeons involved are the complex structures of anatomy that can not be seen from the outside, this technology has made this possible. Similarly, 3D printing capabilities can be applied to the design of surgical simulators. 3D printing provides a realistic learning environment. As an educational tool, 3D models can be useful for surgical surgeons to understand spatial anatomy and better understandingof surgery. 3D models and navigation systems for neurosurgery can be combined to improve .surgeries and surgeriesPurpose: The purpose of this study is to clarify the importance and use of 3D printing in neurological .and neurosurgical surgeryMaterial & Methods This integrated review study was conducted with extensive search using the key words of the next printand neurosurgery in the Medline, Pubmed, SID, Merger, and Google Scholar databases. A total of 30 articles published between 1990 and 2017 on the subject, the definition of 3D printing, the theoretical 3D printing dimension in surgery, and its foresight in neurosurgery were studied based on the content analysis .process Results 3D printing technologies Prototyping is a precision tool for producing patient-specific models andillnesses. Three-dimensional printing studies in neurosurgery focused on three main areas: the creation of specific patient models for surgical planning, surgical education, neurosurgery design, and the development of biological tissue engineering implants. Preoperative planning is possible using 3D models in the preparation of complex operations. 3D printing transforms 3D images into a real model. Increases morphologyawareness and the desired location; this enables surgeons to directly understand and analyze the complex anatomy of the brain. Surgeons can do real work in an ex vivo environment. The interior images that are obtained are used by medical systems, these images are used to separate the desired structure. From the image information, a 3D model is generated on a specific computer software and is issued tocreate biomodels. Dorsal internal fixation is beneficial in treating CVJ defects with the aid of a 3D printed .model and can have a potent effect on spinal surgery Conclusion With the advancement of technology, 3DP is a way of understanding the surgical anatomy, practicing.surgical and implant construction and surgical planning, and using the model to guide neurosurgery
