Combining Technology and Surgical Precision for Patient-Centered Care
We are pleased to have contributed to a tumor resection procedure at Cooper University Hospital, performed by Dr. Christina Gutowski, MD MPH’s team.
For this intervention, our resection guide, specifically designed unsing the patient’s preoperative CT and MRI scans, enabled a customized plan and precise execution of each surgical step.
The case involved a bone tumor requiring resection with safety margins of 7 to 10 mm to minimize recurrence risk. With the help of the guide, Dr. Christina Gutowski was able to confidently follow specific cutting planes, ensuring complete removal of the tumor while preserving the surrounding healthy structures.
Once the osteotomy was completed, the surgeon safely removed the tumor and performed reconstruction with a shaped allograft, ensuring a ideal fit to the patient’s anatomy.
The main challenge of the reconstruction was to restore the functionality of the hip joint, as a portion of the acetabulum also had to be resected.
However, through careful selection of the allograft, we were able to perform a 3D simulation of its reconstruction during pre-operative planning, enabling us to achieve the optimal positioning to preserve the acetabulum.
At 3D-Side, we are committed to support medical teams with tailored solutions to contribute to safer and more effective patient care.
