Several techniques are used to prevent such morbidity and recently addition of 3D printer technology provides the surgeon to plan the surgery on a model preoperatively, thus helps lowering morbidity. 9 patients with cortically located tumors were operated in our institutions planned preoperatively on a 3D printed model. Individualized 3D printed models for preoperative planning in patients with cortically located tumors were created successfully throughout this study. Most of the previous studies regarding utilization of 3D printers in neurosurgery focused on cranial deformities and intracranial aneurysm models. Tumors invading normal glial tissue set a challenge for creating 3D printed models for the disease. Future prospective studies are essential to prove the efficiency of the model in terms of reduced morbidity and better surgical outcome. </span> </div>}, number={1}
