Abstract
The purpose of our research was to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of a novel three-dimensional printed biopolymer device (3DP-BPD) for duct-to-mucosa pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) in minipigs. Polylactic acid (PLA) was selected as the raw materials for 3DP-BPD. Three components of a 3DP-BPD were designed and manufactured: hollow stent, supporting disk, and nut. A pancreatic duct dilation model was developed in six minipigs. After 4...
