Recently, our department has launched a new project，that application of 3D printing technology in assisting hematoma puncture. Previous localization of intracerebral hematoma before puncture was difficult, especially in patients with deep intracerebral hematoma or irregular shape of the hematoma. Now, before the operation, using 3D printing software to input the patient's CT image data, print out the individualized puncture assistant guide. During the operation, the guide can accurately puncture into the central part of the hematoma.

In recent years, along with the computer three-dimensional digital imaging and multi-level continuous printing technology development, three-dimensional printing technology as a new application of rapid rise, and gradually used in medical fields. Compared with bone window hematoma clearance three-dimensional printing individualized guide plate puncture treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage can accurately puncture depth and angle, treat individual, minimally invasive and accurate reduced operating costs and improve the postoperative curative effect of patients.        （神经外科  张亮）
