The utilization of 3D printing in surgery as an innovative approach to preoperative planning.

Introduction: 3D printing, a concept over 40 years old, is finding broader application in clinical practice thanks to technological advancements. At University Hospital Ostrava, 3D printing is utilized to create anatomically accurate models of specific patients before surgical procedures based on imaging data.

Case Series: 3D printing is employed as a complement to conventional imaging methods to produce morphologically precise models of anatomical structures of individual patients.

A Cost-Affordable Methodology of 3D Printing of Bone Fractures Using DICOM Files in Traumatology.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has gained popularity across various domains but remains less integrated into medical surgery due to its complexity. Existing literature primarily discusses specific applications, with limited detailed guidance on the entire process. The methodological details of converting Computed Tomography (CT) images into 3D models are often found in amateur 3D printing forums rather than scientific literature.

Epithelioid sarcoma with retained INI1 expression as a cause of a chronic leg ulcer.

Epithelioid sarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma typically presenting itself as a subcutaneous or deep dermal mass in distal portions of the extremities of adolescents and young adults. They are frequently mistaken for ulcers, abscesses, or infected warts resistant to standard medical treatment. Patients often develop multiple local recurrences with subsequent metastases.

Congruence of histological diagnosis with imaging and operation diagnosis in acute appendicitis.

Introduction: The diagnostic process of acute appendicitis is based on clinical symptoms, evaluation of laboratory biomarkers of inflammation and imaging examinations results. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is a key factor in reducing the number of so-called negative appendectomies. The aim of our study was to evaluate the importance of ultrasound in the diagnostic algorithm of acute appendicitis.

Surgical treatment of alveolar echinococcosis: a single centre experience and systematic review of the literature.

Introduction: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus multilocularis. AE is primarily localised in the liver. Echinococcus multilocularis imitates tumour-like behaviour.

[Pilon fractures of the tibia--a short summary of problems and case reports].

Fractures of the distal tibia represent serious musculoskeletal injuries. Their treatment is rather difficult, requiring highly erudite staff and sufficient material equipment. The authors present a group of 41 patients operated on over a 5-year period and on 4 case reports show their own most frequently used treatment options.

[Prolonged prophylaxis of thromboembolic disease in patients with colorectal surgical resections for malignancy].

Unlabelled: Cancer patients have 6-fold higher risk of venous thromboembolism compared with patients without malignancy. This risk of VTE is further increased by cancer surgery.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of our pilot study was to examine the changes in inflammatory reaction, changes of coagulation parameters and inhibition of FXa in patients with new diagnosed colorectal cancer.
