Utilizing pre-operative 3D printed model to inform pancreaticogastric fistula treatment: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPancreaticogastric fistula is a very rare phenomenon typically caused by mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas. We present a case report of a patient who developed a pancreaticogastric fistula as a sequela of chronic pancreatitis, which has never been reported in the literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE: The patient had a benign inflammatory pancreatic head mass causing pancreatic duct and common bile duct obstruction eventually leading pancreaticogastric fistula formation located just anterior to the splenic artery. A three-dimensional (3D)-printed model of the patient's complex anatomy was created for presurgical planning utilizing both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). The patient underwent Puestow pancreaticojejunostomy, choledochojejunostomy, and takedown of pancreaticogastric fistula to successfully decompressed the pancreatic duct and common bile duct. DISCUSSION: The use of 3D printing allowed for improved presurgical planning and patient education relating to a rare and complex surgical problem. The patient underwent a successful surgery which led to resolution of his symptoms.
conclusion3D printing is a useful tool for both surgeons and patients to understand complex surgical anatomy.
