Individualized medicine using 3D printing technology in gynecology: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Developments in 3-dimensional (3D) printing technology has made it possible to produce high quality, affordable 3D printed models for use in medicine. As a result, there is a growing assessment of this approach being published in the medical literature. The objective of this study was to outline the clinical applications of individualized 3D printing in gynecology through a scoping review.

Data sources

Four medical databases (Medline, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, Scopus) and grey literature were searched for publications meeting eligibility criteria up to 31 May 2021.

Study eligibility criteria

Publications were included if they were published in English, had a gynecologic context, and involved production of patient specific 3D printed product(s).
