3D is the future?

This is an interesting take on yet another way to incorporate modern technology into medical practice, and the novel use of a 3D printer to create a custom-made prosthesis for large and irregular nasal septal perforations. These prostheses have the...

Rhinology and 3D printing

3D printing has increasing applications in rhinology, for instance to create patient-specific preoperative models for procedure planning, including designing a template for reconstruction planning following tumour resection, patient consultation and customised prostheses. The authors focused their review on the role...

3D endoscopy in pituitary adenoma surgery

Endoscopic approach for pituitary adenoma surgery is well recognised. There has been recent refinement of 3D endoscopy technology which improves on the depth of vision offered and more compact delivery. This may improve visualisation of the critical structures involved in...

3D printing and sustainability in audiology and ENT

As we try to avoid disposing of equipment that is still functional, we are challenged by company policies that make equipment ‘obsolete’ and no longer supported for repairs. One innovative solution is provided by 3D printing parts that are needed...

free Stage 3D desktop scanner

The free Stage 3D desktop scanner was developed in 2019 in Germany for quality conscious audiologists.

3D printed temporal bones for drilling are here!

It was only a matter of time before the 3D printer was used to help us with simulated temporal bone (TB) drilling. This group printed three paediatric TB models and evaluated their quality. They were found to be of ‘high...

3D ultrasonography for evaluation of muscles following facial palsy

Reconstructive surgery for facial nerve palsies is not recommended beyond two to three years after a degenerative facial nerve lesion. Since the time course of muscle atrophy is variable, this timeline is a rough guideline. The only assessment method currently...

3D Larynx model

This 3D larynx model is compatible with standard temporal bone holders or plaster of Paris setups. Its standout feature – the ‘Glottic Cassette’ – offers interchangeable true vocal cords with realistic lesions. Designed for practising outdoor laryngeal procedures, it replicates...

3D Paranasal Sinus Model

Expertly crafted with a nasal septum, three turbinates, uncinate process, bulla ethmoidalis, and all sinus ostia, this paranasal sinus model is ideal for advanced endoscopic training. Realistic soft tissue and mucosal layers simulate live surgery conditions, making it perfect for...

3D Surgical Models

Enhance patient education and surgical training with accurate DICOM-based 3D models. Explore detailed sinus, trans-orbital, otology and aesthetic models for hands-on surgical practice with lifelike features. Perfect for Botox, fillers, temp-oral bone surgery and complex transorbital procedures. Coming soon: laryngeal,...

3D Temporal Bone Model

With cadaveric bones increasingly scarce, high-fidelity 3D models present a reliable and realistic alternative for surgical training. This anatomically precise temporal bone model – with patent canals, cochlea, and detailed internal structures – supports hands-on mastery of mastoidectomy, labyrinthectomy, facial...

3D Ai-natomy: the BACO 2026 Lionel Colledge Lecture

From Victorian stereograms to AI-generated depth maps, this lecture charts how 3D imaging is reshaping ENT anatomy – and how BACO 2026 will see it at scale. Since the 19th century, 3D technology has experienced several resurgences in the commercial...
