Case Studies

As a general information, Surgiprint has performed hundreds of practical 3D models and successful cases around Europe ;
Including but not limited to Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Luxembourg, Norway, Germany, …

For demonstration purpose we shall only expose a few of them here.

As a reference – here is an example of our 3D model – Liver Metastases – Surgical support

Demo Case 1 : DLM
Navigating the Challenge of Disappearing Liver Metastases (DLMs): The Critical Role of 3D Modeling in Pre-Surgical Planning πŸš€πŸ”

In the complex landscape of oncological surgery, Disappearing Liver Metastases (DLMs) present a formidable challenge. These are liver metastases that, after chemotherapy or other treatments, are no longer visible on conventional black and white imaging techniques. The ability to accurately locate these elusive DLMs is paramount for surgical success, as they may still harbor viable cancer cells that can affect patient outcomes.

Traditional imaging methods often fall short in identifying these hidden threats. This is where the revolutionary power of 3D modeling comes into play 🌐✨. Unlike conventional imaging, 3D models provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional view of the liver’s anatomy, allowing surgeons to visualize the precise location and extent of DLMs with unparalleled clarity. This advanced visualization aids in meticulous pre-surgical planning, ensuring no metastasis is left behind.

The significance of locating DLMs cannot be overstated. It directly impacts the completeness of cancer resection, minimizing the risk of recurrence and maximizing patient survival rates 🎯πŸ’ͺ. As we continue to embrace innovative technologies like 3D modeling, the horizon of cancer surgery expands, promising more precise, effective, and personalized treatments for patients facing the uncertainty of DLMs.

Transforming Liver Surgery: The Breakthrough of 3D Modeling 🌐
The realm of liver surgery is witnessing a significant shift, primarily driven by the revolutionary impact of 3D Modeling. Here’s how it’s setting new standards:
🎨 Detailed Preoperative Planning: Customized surgical blueprints, based on intricate 3D liver models.
🌍 Personalized Approaches: Embracing the uniqueness of each liver, 3D models pave the way for surgeries tailored to individual needs.
🎯 Precision and Accuracy: Turning virtual plans into real-life surgical successes, enhancing outcomes.
As we continue to innovate, we’re excited about the potential of integrating 3D modeling within robotic surgery systems. This synergy promises to redefine the surgical landscape, making procedures even more precise and patient-centric.
Stay tuned as we navigate towards this exciting future, where technology and healthcare converge for unparalleled patient care. πŸš€

Demo Case 3: Whipple Procedure

🌟 In July 2021, a brave 70-year-old faced a challenging diagnosis: pancreatic cancer πŸŽ—οΈ, uncovered due to diabetes complications. An abdominal CT scan unveiled a concerning lesion at the pancreas’s head, hinting at a locally advanced battle ahead. πŸ§πŸ”¬

The journey took a turn with echo-endoscopy revealing additional hurdles but also providing a path for diagnostic clarity through cytopuncture. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ”Ž

As jaundice emerged, a beacon of hope shone with the placement of a biliary prosthesis, showing promising markers post-drainage. πŸŒˆπŸ’‰

An FDG PET-CT scan painted a vivid picture of the lesion’s fervent activity, yet hope was not lost. A tailored FOLFIRINOX treatment plan sparked a miraculous turnaround, demonstrating a complete metabolic victory and marker normalization in just 4 months. πŸŽ‰πŸ™

Despite a twist in the tale with surgical challenges, innovative radiotherapy sessions were embarked upon, focusing on precision. πŸŽ―πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈ

Though the battle left scars, with the patient experiencing moments of weakness, their spirit remained unbroken. With time, strength returned, weight was regained, and a remarkable recovery unfolded. 🌟πŸ’ͺ

Continuous monitoring painted a future filled with hope, leading to the proposal of a surgical exploration to embark on the next chapter of this extraordinary journey. πŸš€πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”¬

Join us to witness this incredible tale of resilience and medical marvels. Click to be inspired! βœ¨πŸ‘‡
