Abstract

The rapid advancement in technological innovations, such as 3D printing and robotic surgery, is a progression that few could imagine just a few years ago. The combination of these technologies namely 3D printing of patient-specific anatomy and robotic surgery is reported here to plan and perform the resection of a large aneurysm of the celiac trunk.
