3D printing in neurosurgery: A systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that 3D printing techniques are practical and anatomically accurate methods of producing patient-specific models for surgical planning, simulation and training, tissue-engineered implants, and secondary devices. Expansion of this technology may, therefore, contribute to advancing the neurosurgical field from several standpoints. PMID: 27920940 [PubMed - in process]
