That led us to Dr Richie, Senior Consultant and Head – Plastic Surgery, Fortis Shalimar Bagh who was in the middle of a medical case of patient’s Pelvic Exstrophy. He consulted us and needed a better way to plan an operation of this magnitude. A surgical procedure like this needs a Rehearsal so that the doctors can plan out each and every detail by doing a mock surgery before the actual one just to be 100% sure.

The Problem:
a) MRI data was not enough to engage into a surgery which is of complex nature.
b) Without actual 3D model of the patient’s pelvic it would be impossible to know the exact point of intersection and inserting of rods.
c) The surgery could take endless hours in figuring out the exact degree and direction without 100% surety.
d) Diagnosing would be difficult if observations and surgery are just done basis MRI reports.
