Now, we have seen more and more examples of 3D printing technology applied in the medical field. Recently, there have been cases in the Middle East where the first 3D printing technology was applied in the medical field. A 42-year-old woman successfully removed cancerous cells from the kidneys with the help of UAE doctors and 3D printing technology.

It is understood that this patient is a 42-year-old Palestinian woman living in the United Arab Emirates. She began to feel severe pain in her abdomen. After being observed in the hospital, the doctor found that the pain and discomfort in her abdomen was a tumor on the kidney. In order to better treat it, the doctor transferred her to the Dubai Hospital operated by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA).

Subsequently, the medical staff determined her tumor size and location (approximately 4 cm long, located next to the renal artery). The doctor discussed the two medical plans for removing the kidney directly or removing the tumor, and finally decided to help the woman keep the kidney. In the following period, 3D printing technology helped medical personnel to develop a patient-specific kidney model, which not only enabled the doctor to successfully help the woman with the tumor, but also shortened the operation time by one hour.

It is reported that the 3D printed kidney model is based on the patient's CT scan and ultrasound data, and is printed in color and transparent plastic. This will help the doctor to better determine the location of the tumor. The technology is not currently integrated into the UAE hospital, but is ordered directly from the US 3D printing service provider.
