Abstract
Pediatric surgery presents a unique challenge, requiring a specialized approach due to the intricacies of compact anatomy and the presence of distinct congenital features in young patients. Surgeons are tasked with making decisions that not only address immediate concerns but also consider the evolving needs of children as they grow. The advent of three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a valuable tool to facilitate a personalized medical approach. This paper starts by outlining the basics of 3D modeling and printing. We then delve into the transformative role of 3D printing in pediatric surgery, elucidating its applications, benefits, and challenges. The paper concludes by envisioning the future prospects of 3D printing, foreseeing advancements in personalized treatment approaches, improved patient outcomes, and the continued evolution of this technology as an indispensable asset in the pediatric surgical arena.
小儿外科是一项独特的挑战，由于小儿解剖结构复杂，且存在明显的先天特征，因此需要采用专门的方法。外科医生在做决定时不仅要解决当下的问题，还要考虑到儿童成长过程中不断变化的需求。三维（3D）打印技术的出现成为促进个性化医疗方法的重要工具。本文首先概述了三维建模和打印的基础知识。然后，我们深入探讨了三维打印在儿科手术中的变革性作用，阐明了它的应用、优势和挑战。最后，本文展望了 3D 打印技术的未来前景，预见了个性化治疗方法的进步、患者疗效的改善以及该技术作为小儿外科领域不可或缺的资产的持续发展。
