Science on the Edge: New Frontiers in Surgery: 3D Printing Organs
*The event has already taken place on this date: Wed, 11/28/2018
Join us as University of Rochester Medical Center's Ahmed E. Ghazi discusses creating 3D replicas of human organs for surgeons to practice on. He and his team have been 3D printing molds for model organs that mimic the real organs so closely, that they even bleed when cut.

“Surgery is often like a Pandora’s Box,” says Ghazi. “You don’t know what is inside until you open it up. The fact that we could someday have surgeons practice procedures on these models before going to the operating room helps eliminate the unknown, increases safety, and improves the quality of care. Patients can, in turn, reassure themselves by asking their surgeons ‘how did the rehearsal go yesterday?’ That is going to be the future of surgery.”
