Earlier\u00a0this year,\u00a02021,\u00a0a team of scientists led by\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Dung Tran Trung,\u00a0PhD, MD,\u00a0from the\u00a0College\u00a0of Health Science, VinUniversity successfully carried out\u00a0the first\u00a0pelvic replacement using 3D-printed technology\u00a0in patient\u00a0with bone cancer\u00a0in Vietnam, with excellent results resulting in near full mobility for the patient.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an article\u00a0published in\u00a0<\/span>Annals of Medicine and Surgery<\/span><\/i>,\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Dung and\u00a0his team describe the case study of a\u00a057-year-old man with left pelvic cancer. He was wheelchair\u00a0bound\u00a0due to poor hip function, and his quality of life was severely\u00a0impacted. Standard\u00a0treatment protocol would require\u00a0chemotherapy and removal of a significant part of the pelvis, which would have\u00a0confined him to a life in the wheelchair.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Surgical planning and procedure were carefully developed and executed by Prof. Dung and his team. The patient\u2019s data\u00a0was sent to\u00a0Chunli\u00a0Zenda (Shanghai) for designing and manufacturing the custom-made 3D printed implant. The surgery was then arranged into two phases: tumor cut-up phase and implant placement phase.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0intense\u00a0surgery lasted for nearly seven hours and was a big success. The patient could sit up in bed 24 hours after the operation. He was able to walk with a support frame and no weight bearing on his left leg after 48 hours. During the first two weeks, he began doing muscle-strengthening exercises in bed and learned to walk 50 meters with a support frame each day. After six months of follow-up, the patient\u2019s overall condition was\u00a0stable,\u00a0and\u00a0the surgical site had fully healed.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pelvic\u00a0cancer<\/span><\/i>\u00a0accounts\u00a0for 4-10% of all bone cancers\u00a0(Morris\u00a0C.D,\u00a02010).\u00a0Using customized 3D-printed prostheses has been proven to be beneficial in treating bone cancer,\u00a0particularly\u00a0in medically advanced countries, such as\u00a0Japan, India, and China.\u00a0However, it\u00a0has not yet been adopted\u00a0in Vietnam due to high levels of\u00a0professional expertise\u00a0required from doctors\u00a0and\u00a0advanced surgical facilities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes us happy to see that with this surgery, the patient can resume a normal life and not live a life of physical disability. It also gives us hope that we can continue to\u00a0use state-of\u2013the-art 3-D part replacement procedure to help other patients\u00a0suffering from bone cancer.\u201d\u00a0said\u00a0Prof. Dung.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Using custom-made 3D-printed implants is an effective solution for bone cancer treatment in the world. Therefore, this first successful artificial pelvic replacement in Vietnam can be considered a significant milestone,\u00a0paving the way for more\u00a0golden\u00a0opportunities for Vietnamese patients to\u00a0live fuller lives after bone cancer treatment.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
