Lucy Boucher, a two-year-old girl from Northern Ireland, was found to have heart failure when she was a baby. She was destined to suffer from kidney failure for the rest of her life and had to be treated three times a week until Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Trust The doctor told her family that if Lucy's father Chris's kidney was transplanted to Lucy, there was a certain success rate.
In other words, this surgery requires transplanting a kidney from a 35-year-old adult to a two-year-old child. The difficulty is conceivable. Fortunately, with the help of 3D printing technology , the operation was successfully completed in November last year. 3D printing allows doctors to fully understand and visualize the surgery they are doing. Lucy's successful transplantation marks the first time that 3D printing has been used to help transplant an adult kidney to a child.
At the time of the surgery, doctors performed CT and MRI scans of Chris's kidney and Lucy's abdomen, and based on this, 3D printed models to ensure that doctors at Great Ormond Street Hospital were able to accurately plan the surgery and even use them. Perform preoperative exercises.
In addition to helping to plan the surgery, the model of the mother and the daughter's kidneys and abdomen can also help doctors explain the detailed process of surgery to their families. “When I saw the 3D printed model of my kidney, my first reaction was to be amazed at how big it was. I wanted to know how it fits into Lucy's body.†Father Chris explained: “Seeing her belly model and kidney quilt I was aware of the whole procedure after implanting her body. It helped alleviate my concern. I was very pleased and relieved when I saw that the surgeon could perform such detailed preoperative planning before surgery."
It is understood that both father and daughter recovered very well after the operation. Lucy's mother, Ciara Boucher, added: "Considering the risk of possible complications, the most amazing thing is that everything goes smoothly - it's a crucial rescue, and organ transplants have changed Lucy's life."
