Introduction Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an engineering process during which a 3D object is created by applying various materials using a computer-generated model. Materials are usually applied layer by layer. , The process can be broken down into the following…
Introduction During the last three decades, advancements in bioprosthetics, biomaterials and tissue engineering have been accompanied by an outbreak in three-dimensional (3D) technology applications in several medical disciplines including plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery. The philosophy behind plastic surgery lies…
Introduction The process of three-dimensional (3D) printing any object comprises a series of procedures that begin with scanning and obtaining several two-dimensional (2D) images of the organ. The images obtained are stacked together to form a structure, followed by a…

Introduction The three-dimensional (3D) illustration technology developed throughout the 1980s, but it has made a huge progress over the last 10 years. While most of the printers have a commercial use, the 3D imaging and printing is a developing application,…
Introduction: the introduction of three-dimensional printing in liver surgery During the last decade, the evolution of advanced imaging methods and computer-based technologies has led to the increased use of three-dimensional (3D) printing in the medical field and especially in general…
Introduction The first and foremost rule every general surgical trainee is taught early in their apprenticeship is to “Eat when you can, sleep when you can, and do not mess with the pancreas!” Indeed, even in modern-day surgical training, a…
Introduction Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) defined healthcare interventions from their inception. Reduced costs, increased efficacy toward growth, social equality, diagnostic efficacy, and treatment effectiveness were the outcomes of these interventions. Contemporary education for healthcare, in particular, has greatly advanced…
Introduction: 3D bioprinting technology in a few words and its evolution through the years The need to overcome the restrictions of transplantation process such as the limited number of biocompatible donated organs, the increasing demand for organs, the transplants rejection,…
