Research progress of 3D bioprinting in neurosurgery

The research trend of combining 3D bioprinting technology with clinical medical needs is becoming more and more obvious, especially in neurosurgery, as there is increasing need of brain tumor removal, skull repair, nerve and vascular regeneration. However, it has not been applied to clinical practice yet. With the continuous development of biomaterials and cell technology, the application of 3D bioprinting technology in the field of neurosurgery will make more and more breakthroughs. This article reviews the clinical application and frontier research of 3D bioprinting technology in neurosurgery at home and abroad, summarizes the application status of 3D bioprinting technology in neurosurgery, and analyzes the development trend of its application in the future. Key words: 3D bioprinting; Neurosurgery; Tissue regeneration
