🌟 Exciting news from the world of medical technology! 🌟

I am glad to share the remarkable study of Lara Veronesi and Bilal Msallem, co-first authors of a pioneering study on - , published by the Swiss MAM Research Group at the Universität Basel. Their research evaluates the dimensional accuracy of laser osteotomies in reconstructive surgery, a critical step forward in precision medicine. 🤖🔬

This cutting-edge technique, which utilizes the ® system (Cold Ablation Robot-guided Laser Osteotome), holds immense potential to revolutionize surgical outcomes through its ability to increase precision and reduce operative times. Lara and Bilal's contributions are pushing the boundaries of digital workflow in surgical procedures, promising better patient-specific treatments.

Let's congratulate Lara and Bilal (and the co-authors) on their outstanding work, paving the way for future advancements in surgery in - and - . 👏🎉

📢 Exciting advances in 3D printing technology are transforming cranio-maxillofacial (CMF) surgery! 😷💀🦷 The new study, "Knowledge Domain and Innovation Trends Concerning Medical 3D Printing for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery Applications: A 30-Year Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis," takes a deep dive into this rapidly evolving field:

🔧 3D printing has been a game-changer for CMF surgery, providing customized solutions for complex reconstructions. This cutting-edge technology enables the creation of anatomical biomodels, surgical templates, and even tailor-made implantable materials for reconstructive procedures. 🦴

📊 This Swiss study analyzed 30 years of global research data and discovered a surge in publications related to 3D printing in CMF surgery. However, it also identified a need for more diverse research and increased public sector involvement to disseminate knowledge more widely.

🌍 While the U.S.A. and China are (currently) at the forefront of this research, there's ample opportunity for other countries to contribute and expand our understanding in this area. There's also a notable gap in the published literature on bioprinting in CMF surgery, indicating a potential area for further exploration. 🧪

👩⚕️ As 3D printing makes waves in CMF surgery, let's keep pushing the boundaries and advancing this incredible field! 💪🌟

Another week has come to an end by the successful participation of the Swiss MAM in the Symposium for 3D Printing for Life Sciences at Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz FHNW in Basel.

Our Head: Florian Thieringer and deputy head: Philip Honigmann led the 3D Print @ hospital session. We had the pleasure to present more than one of our projects. Where our group member Marco Keller presented his work on ‘’In-hospital additive manufactured individualized splints for conservative treatment of distal radius fractures’’.

Our post-doctoral researcher and group member Neha Sharma with the Stefan Leonhardt from Kumovis demonstrated her work on ‘’Patient-specific implant manufacturing at the point of care – chances and challenges’’.

The event created a great environment for stakeholders and researchers from pharmaceutical and medical device industry as well as interested clinicians to exchange themselves with dedicated experts in 3D printing.

Join us on the “3D Printing for Life Sciences” symposium which is providing an insight into current state of the art of 3D Printing in various disciplines of Life Sciences. Our group leaders Prof. Florian Thieringer and Prof. Philipp Honigmann will educate us more on using 3D printing in Hospital.

This event will take place on 29. June 2022. University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland and the Hospital Basel present in collaboration with .swiss to conduct the symposium at the School of Life Sciences in Muttenz.

You can now check our article ‘’ Medical 3D Printing with a focus on Point-of-Care in Cranio- and Maxillofacial Surgery. A systematic review of literature.’’ on Annals of 3D printed Medicine Journal link below.

Our researchers have found out that most comparative studies stated more accurate results with the aid of 3DP compared to conventional approaches. Surgeries using 3DP technology can be safer and lead to more satisfying surgeries.

In many hospitals, 3DP has become an everyday tool. With future technological advancement and research, 3DP has the potential to revolutionize craniomaxillofacial surgeries.
