NHS surgeons from the United Kingdom have just completed a groundbreaking operation that used a 3D printed copy of their patient’s prostate as a live guide that helped them safely remove a cancerous growth. During this surgery the surgeon actually held the replica prostate in his hands and was using it as a guide to ensure that he was able to safely remove the tumor without damaging any of the delicate tissue surrounding it. The 3D printed replica was so accurate that the surgeon was able to feel the location of the actual tumor, and it led him right to the correct location of the cancerous growth.
