✦ Synopsis

Recent advances and technologies in 3D printing have improved and expanded applications for surgery, biomedical engineering, and nanotechnology. In this concise new title, Drs. Georgios Tsoulfas, Petros I. Bangeas, and Jasjit S. Suri synthesize state-of-the-art information on 3D printing and provide guidance on the optimal application in today’s surgical practice, from evaluation of the technology to virtual reality and future opportunities.

• Includes expert guidance on the challenges, opportunities, and limitations of 3D printing in the field of surgery.
• Covers patient and surgical education, ethics and intellectual property, quality and safety, 3D printing as it relates to nanotechnology, tissue engineering, virtual augmented reality, and more.
• Consolidates today’s available information in this rapidly growing area into a single convenient resource.
