接受具有里程碑意义的27小时手术的连接双胞胎迈向了康复。贾登（Jadon）和麦当劳（Anias McDonald）出生于头部并共享血管，直到在经营中分离出来，并由3D系统的几种创新应用支持。雷电竞充值
麦当劳双胞胎继续恢复良好，上周离开医院继续在威彻斯特的布莱斯代尔儿童医院，该医院设有专门的康复设施。古德里奇博士说：“我们知道恢复需要时间，但是我们都对男孩们的反弹程度感到惊讶，并确信他们将继续在Blythedale实现新的里程碑。”自手术以来已经过去了两个月，再加上医疗团队的技能，3D打印使比以往任何时候都更快，“Historically, this will be the fastest古德里奇博士在早期说面试.
手术室的3D打印
The remarkable surgery was made possible by a dedicated team that included members of 3D Systems’ healthcare division. Katie Weimer, 3D Systems VP Medical Devices, and colleague Mike Rensberger,3D系统医疗保健经理虚拟手术计划, were present in the operating room for the surgery along with almost 40 other healthcare professionals.
During my recent visit to the 3D Systems’ Denver facility Katie Weimer explained to me how projects like this make healthcare work at 3D Systems more than just a job. A sentiment echoed by their CEO V.J. who was also at the site.
从早期开始，3D系统参与了麦当劳案件。使用医疗扫描和双胞胎成像3D打印公司能够创建3D模型，以促进复杂程序的规划。手术是由詹姆斯·古德里奇（James Goodrich）博士进行的蒙特菲奥尔医学中心儿科神经外科部长。关于古德里奇博士说的行动，“This is about as complicated as it gets。”
Creating a digital patient
Planning for such a complex operation was facilitated using multiple 3D printed models of the twins.The models were produced using a range of 3D techniques at the 3D Systems healthcare facility. This included taking a CT scan and converting the data into a 3D model. During my visit Mike Rensburger demonstrated how a “digital patient” is created from this data. 3D Systems’ specialists can then guide medical practitioners through the model using online meeting software such as Webex.
在手术前的计划中，团队还能够准确评估如何改善康复过程。这包括计算可用于覆盖新分离的头骨的皮肤区域，然后通过使用气球型设备，在手术前的几个月中，皮肤缓慢拉伸。然后使用这种“皮肤绑带”来覆盖手术左侧露出的区域。计划还包括重新创建颅骨并使用模型来弄清楚双胞胎分离后如何重建头骨。
迈克·伦斯伯格（Mike Rensberger）在他的桌子上向我展示了双胞胎共享头骨的数字图像是如何与同龄孩子的常规形状头骨一起覆盖的。这使医疗团队可以评估使用现有骨头在分离后重建头骨的最佳方法。
3D critical during operation
虽然计划是3D系统提供的支持技术的关键部分，但在手术过程中也需要其专业知识。事实证明，该模型对手术的成功至关重要，因为在某一时刻，主要外科医生对程序不确定。具体而言，血管的纠缠使得继续操作需要参考3D系统创建的高度详细模型。此外，还制作了手术指南，该指南可用于向需要切口的手术团队展示手术团队。
