A group of doctors at Centrode Salud in Tucumán Hospital, Argentina, recently implanted a 3D printed trachea into a peritonitis patient with severe airway problems due to respiratory therapy, which allowed her to resume basic speech, eating and normal breathing. Argentine doctors hope that 3D printing tracheal surgery will help improve the lives of others.

With the development of 3D printing technology , its role in the medical field has become increasingly prominent. Recently, an Argentine woman was reborn as a result of 3D printed tracheal implants. Prior to this, the woman could not speak because of complications of peritonitis. But now, the woman has been able to carry out these daily activities with ease.

The 3D printed implant designed according to the patient's anatomy is made of a biodegradable biomaterial and the implant is implanted into the patient by a group of doctors from Centrode Salud, Tucumán Hospital, Argentina. It is reported that the patient Antonia Albarracín was the first patient to perform such implantation in a South American country.

After discovering that Albarracín had a ten-minute cessation of breathing, the doctor decided to treat it. Fortunately, although the doctor found that peritonitis caused intestinal gangrene and sepsis, it can help her. After up to two months of respiratory therapy, the patient developed a serious airway problem. To solve this problem, doctors believe that 3D printing is the solution.

According to reports, nearly three months ago, 3D printed trachea was implanted in the patient's neck. According to sources, Albarracín recovered well from breakthrough surgery. After seeing the first surgery, the team of doctors has completed a similar surgical procedure for the second time, and believes that 3D printed tracheal implants can help more people.

Surgeon GuillermoStock explained: “What we did was to make a 3D printed trachea from a biodegradable biomaterial and implant it into the patient's neck. After implantation, the trachea was cleaned regularly because there was a skin covering prosthesis inside. The patient's condition is now stable."

By reconstructing the patient's neck trachea with a 3D printed implant, the doctor is able to restore Albarracín's basic speaking, eating and normal breathing functions. Albarracín said: "This operation has changed my life and made me reborn."

Fortunately, surgery, surgery and 3D printed implants are available free of charge in public hospitals. But at present, the cost of 3D printed reconstruction trachea and surgical implantation is quite expensive.

Albarracín, who has three sons, cherishes this new life because it allows her to do what she likes again, such as gymnastics, aerobics and cooking for her family. Through the experience of successful surgery for Albarracín, Argentine doctors hope that 3D printing tracheal surgery will help improve the lives of others.
