Surgical precision with engineering accuracy
More than two hundred surgeries are performed in Hungary every year to correct the developmental disorder known as the funnel chest that affects every six thousandth child. Recently, a process with 3D printing has been developed in Pécs, with the cooperation of doctors, engineers, 3D designers and metalworking professionals. The University of Pécs made an interview with thoracic surgeon Dr Zalán Szántó who invented the new method that has a huge opportunity in surgical procedures.
