使用3D印刷模型，法国外科医生在受脊柱侧弯影响的儿童的脊柱上进行了世界上第一个机器人引导的微创手术。FrançoisDorersen博士，Richard Gouron教授和Michel Lefranc博士以及来自Amiens-Picardie University Hospital的麻醉师在Med Tech的Rosa Robot的帮助下进行了操作，以对齐并指导外科医生。
To prepare the procedure, and be as accurate as possible, the surgeons trained for the surgery on a 3D printed model of the patient. Using this model, the surgeons were able to perfect the timing of the surgery, and procedural practice for working with the ROSA robot.
世界的第一个模拟
在面试中古隆说that the operation was both “a first in simulation, and a first in the surgical installation of sacroilliac (lower spine to pelvis) screws using a robot.”
尽管脊柱模型已经开发and 3D printed as an aid for surgeons, this is the first time an entire 3D printed model of a patient’s body, simulating skin, muscle and bone to scale has that been recreated.
最初，对孩子进行了扫描以确定手术桌上的骨骼定位。然后将其胸腔的3D重建出口到打印机，然后与他的脊椎重建。该模型是由医院附属的培训中心Simusanté印刷的。
A world’s first procedure
已经精明的过程中最复杂的部分之一是放置sacroilliac螺钉，以及可以将杆固定在钩子上以使背部伸直的钩子。必须将7毫米螺钉放入8mm宽的骨走廊中，没有不精确的空间。
To keep the surgery minimally invasive, incisions were made along the back using the model as a guide, where the robot then drilled into the bone. Thanks to the preparations made using the 3D printed model, the rods were pre-aligned in the correct position.

A trailblazing operation
Gouron指出，这项手术是成功的，他指出：“由于机器人，术后疼痛和患者坐下的可能性较小，切口较小”。
Robots and 3D printed components are also being used in minimally invasive andcomplex dental operations, under the close supervision of surgeons and anaesthetists.
