The Wall Street Journal is impressed by the safety of orthognathic surgery at ID hospital

The Wall Street Journal Live (WSJ LIVE) broadcasted live on Oct. 23rd about orthognathic surgery procedures by using 3D printer at ID hospital, resulting in a great enhancement of safety.

Dr. Sagnhoon Park, the chief plastic surgeon at ID hospital, said that technique of plastic surgery in Korea is highly recognized throughout the world. He also mentioned that safety of the two-jaw surgery (corrective jaw surgery) has been greatly improved after the use of 3D printer.

By developing facial bone models of patients, doctors can anticipate and clarify the amount, the location, and the thickness of bone which will be severed. Also, doctors can simulate surgeries with the models to accurately estimate how far, to which direction, and with how much degree the boney segments need to be moved, minimizing side effects of surgeries as well as shortening operation time.
