At the start of this year, we’re sharing this bone tumor resection case highlighting a great surgical collaboration.

For this complex resection, we worked closely with the surgeon to define a precise strategy, taking into account every essential detail.

Through in-depth technical exchanges, we developed a cutting guide that preserves the S1 foramen on the right while directing the cutting planes straight toward the tumor. 

To optimize the procedure, adjustments were made, including a planned laminectomy on the sacral vertebrae.

The guide, designed to float above the sacral crest, attaches to the iliac crest and is secured with four pins, offering stability and precision during the cut.

Each step was carefully thought out to streamline the work in the operating room and ensure optimal results for the patient.

These exchanges highlight the importance of personalization and precision in surgical planning. 

At 3D-Side, we are committed to providing solutions that simplify the work of surgeons while maximizing patient benefits.
