Abstract

Background

Worldwide, millions of people experience sickness, trauma, or birth defects that negatively impact their social interactions, career, finances, mental health, and overall quality of life. When anatomical portions where plastic surgery is not appropriate or too expensive are given new functions and aesthetics, prostheses improve the quality of life for most affected individuals. The production of prosthesis items could benefit from 3D printing as a viable method to address the drawbacks of traditional construction, including lack of attachment, function, robustness, aesthetics, and cost. But prosthetic material 3D printing is still in its infancy and faces several obstacles, including low mechanical strength in printed parts, printability problems, restricted 3D printing of appropriate prosthesis materials, and flaws.

Case report

53 years old male reported with a complaint of a missing nose. The nasal defect was postsurgical following total rhinectomy for squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was treated for Grade 2 squamous cell carcinoma. Patient underwent total rhinectomy and rehabilitated with forehead rotation flap and split thickness graft cover. Then the defect was rehabilitated through digital procedure for creating nasal prosthesis.

Conclusion

Digital technology is changing prosthetic design and manufacture by combining precision, personalisation, and efficiency, providing new hope and a higher quality of life for individuals who have had their noses surgically removed.

数字化鼻假体:面部重建的新领域 - 病例报告
背景世界上有数百万人经历过疾病、创伤或先天缺陷,对他们的社会交往、事业、经济、心理健康和整体生活质量造成了负面影响。当整形手术不合适或过于昂贵的解剖部位被赋予新的功能和美感时,假肢就能改善大多数受影响者的生活质量。3D打印作为一种可行的方法,可以解决传统结构的缺点,包括缺乏附着性、功能、坚固性、美观性和成本等,从而使假肢的生产受益匪浅。但假体材料 3D 打印仍处于起步阶段,面临着一些障碍,包括打印部件机械强度低、可打印性问题、适当假体材料的 3D 打印受限以及缺陷等。鼻缺损是鳞状细胞癌全鼻切除术后造成的。患者曾接受过 2 级鳞状细胞癌治疗。患者接受了全鼻切除术,并用前额旋转皮瓣和分层厚度移植覆盖物进行了修复。结论数字技术集精确性、个性化和高效性于一身,正在改变假体的设计和制造,为手术切除鼻子的患者带来新的希望和更高的生活质量。
