Technion-Israel Institute of Technology 3 articles published in JoVE Bioengineering Fabrication of Engineered Vascular Flaps Using 3D Printing Technologies Majd Machour1, Ariel A. Szklanny1, Shulamit Levenberg1 1Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology Engineered flaps require an incorporated functional vascular network. In this protocol, we present a method of fabricating a 3D printed tissue flap containing a hierarchical vascular network and its direct microsurgical anastomoses to rat femoral artery. Medicine 3D Planning and Printing of Patient Specific Implants for Reconstruction of Bony Defects Tal Capucha*1, Dekel Shilo*1,2, Ori Blanc1, Shahar Turgeman1, Omri Emodi1,2, Adi Rachmiel1,2 1Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Rambam Medical Care Center, 2Ruth & Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology This protocol describes the use of 3D planning and printing for reconstruction of bony defects. We use segmentation tools to create 3D models followed by 3D design software to create patient specific implants for reconstruction purposes concomitant to ablative surgery or as a second stage. Medicine Treatment of Facial Deformities using 3D Planning and Printing of Patient-Specific Implants Dekel Shilo*1,2, Tal Capucha*1, Dana Goldstein3, Yekaterina Bereznyak3, Omri Emodi1,2, Adi Rachmiel1,2 1Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Rambam Medical Care Center, 2Ruth & Bruce Rappaport Faculty of Medicine, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, 3Department of Orthodontics and Craniofacial Anomalies, School of Graduate Dentistry, Rambam Health Care Campus As technology develops and becomes more user-friendly, planning of operations and patient-specific surgical guides and fixation plates should be performed by the surgeon. We present a protocol for 3D planning of orthognathic skeletal movements and 3D planning and printing of patient-specific fixation plates and surgical guides.
