Medical 3D printing technology helps surgeons separate conjoined twins
3D printing technology is helping a surgeon prepare for an extremely complex surgical procedure. The purpose of this surgery is to separate a pair of connected twins, Anias and Jadon. It is reported that this operation will be held at the Montefiore Hospital in New York. Scientifically speaking, such a pair of twins is a miracle of life. It is said that a pair of head-connected twins will appear in every 2.5 million newborns. 40% of them will die, and one third will die within 24 hours of birth, and 80% of such children will die before the first two years of age. Today, when Anias and Jadon are still 13 months old, their parents have to make a painful decision to separate them, even though it would put them at risk. It is understood that the cost of surgery is as high as 2.5 million, of which the risk is self-evident, but fortunately, doctors are not completely unprepared, 3D scanning and 3D printing technology have a greater grasp of the success of the operation. James Goodrich is arguably one of the best neurosurgeons in the world. And he is also experienced in separating conjoined babies. Prior to this, he had undergone 6 conjoined infant separation operations and served as a consultant for 13 other such operations. Today, he has used 3D scanning to fully understand the two children. Moreover, in recent years, he has become accustomed to making a series of 3D models to help him plan difficult operations, which he obviously will do.
