At number 7 on IE's 22 best innovations of 2022, we look at this new medical technology that may forever revolutionize reconstructive surgery.
In November of 2022, surgeons at the Toulouse University Hospital and the Claudius Regaud Institute in FranceThe amazing medical breakthrough was achieved through additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, the same technology used for building houses and making firearms.But the development required some pretty nifty chemistry.
The technology, which has been clinically tested, comes with many advantages such as faster healing times and better rehabilitation for the patients. In this specific case, the female patient had lost a large part of her nose as well as the anterior region of her palate almost a decade ago after being diagnosed with nasal cavity cancer. It was the treatments of radiotherapy and chemotherapy that followed that resulted in the destruction of her nose.
The patient had survived for many years without a nose before deciding to undergo nasal construction using grafting skin flaps. This process however proved unsuccessful and the patient experienced further difficulties using a nasal prosthesis.That's when researchers at Toulouse University Hospital teamed up with Cerhum to provide her with a viable nose through a highly customized nasal reconstruction surgery made possible by 3D printing.
For now, Cerhum’s technology has been approved for use in patients in Europe and it could forever revolutionize the way medical professionals approach reconstructive surgery. It is particularly effective in cases where all other options have been exhausted.
