Research progress of three-dimensional bioprinting technology in auricle repair and reconstruction
Objective To review the research progress on the application of three-dimensional(3D)bioprinting technology in auricle repair and reconstruction.Methods The recent domestic and international research literature on 3D printing and auricle repair and reconstruction was extensively reviewed,and the concept of 3D bioprinting technology and research progress in auricle repair and reconstruction were summarized.Results The auricle possesses intricate anatomical structure and functionality,necessitating precise tissue reconstruction and morphological replication.Hence,3D printing technology holds immense potential in auricle reconstruction.In contrast to conventional 3D printing technology,3D bioprinting technology not only enables the simulation of auricular outer shape but also facilitates the precise distribution of cells within the scaffold during fabrication by incorporating cells into bioink.This approach mimics the composition and structure of natural tissues,thereby favoring the construction of biologically active auricular tissues and enhancing tissue repair outcomes.Conclusion 3D bioprinting technology enables the reconstruction of auricular tissues,avoiding potential complications associated with traditional autologous cartilage grafting.The primary challenge in current research lies in identifying bioinks that meet both the mechanical requirements of complex tissues and biological criteria.
