- Vietnam’s Vinmec hospital leads medical tech revolution through 3D printing
- New titanium implant eliminates need for traditional invasive techniques
- Patient experiences dramatically shortened recovery period of five days
Medical Breakthrough
In a groundbreaking procedure, doctors at Vinmec Times City International Hospital successfully reconstructed a patient’s chest wall using custom 3D-printed titanium implants.
Smart Design
The innovative implant, created through VinUniversity’s 3D Technology in Medicine Centre, features an integrated mesh design that guards against lung hernia complications.
This advancement marks a significant improvement over traditional methods that required muscle-skin flap transfers and often left substantial scarring.
Rapid Recovery
The medical team’s combination of cutting-edge 3D technology and specialized ESP pain management led to remarkable results – the patient returned home after just five days.
The procedure targeted an 11.5 cm mediastinal tumor.
