Surgeons in Fort Worth were scratching their heads last year as they planned surgery for Ivy Chacon, a little girl from West Texas who was born in June 2015 with an unusual combination of heart defects. Not only did her heart chambers face the wrong direction, the entire organ had developed on the wrong side of her chest. The success of surgery weighed heavily on the surgeons' ability to be precise. So they decided to employ Cook Children's Health Care System's newest high-tech tool: a 3-D printer. The technology being used by Cook Children's puts the facility at the forefront of a trend that is rapidly making its way into the U.S. healthcare system.

The learning curve for transoral robotic surgery for squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx is surgeon-specific, according to a study published online in JAMA Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery. The researchers examined learning curves for oncologic TORS surgeons in a retrospective review of patients undergoing TORS for OPSCC. A total of 382 transoral robotic procedures were identified, of which 160 met the inclusion criteria for three surgeons (68, 37 and 55 for surgeons A, B and C, respectively).

Cutting-edge technology is always going to be exciting, but the point at which it becomes truly amazing is when it can be used to save people's lives. That is the goal of a new multi-million-dollar project set to kick off at Cancer Research U.K. Cambridge Institute this May. The project's aim is to develop virtual reality and 3-D visualization tools to help oncologists and other cancer researchers create and analyze 3D maps of tumors.
