Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to a method of repairing a tissue perforation using a custom 3D bioprinted graft.
- Eardrum perforations are problematic as they cause complications including conductive hearing loss and chronic foul ear drainage (i.e., otorrhea) from repeated infections. These complications occur in 3 to 5% of cases after ear tube placement as well as in cases of acute otitis media, a second most common infection in pediatrics, chronic otitis media with or without cholesteatoma, or as a result of barotrauma to the ear.
- otorrhea chronic foul ear drainage
- Perforations are most problematic when they cause both conductive hearing loss and chronic ear drainage, which can be debilitating and socially isolating to patients. Although some perforations heal spontaneously, most persist despite dry ear precautions, ototopical drops, or myringoplasty and must undergo surgical repair.
- Tympanoplasty is a surgical procedure to repair a defect in the tympanic membrane with the placement of a graft and is performed over 55,000 times each year in the United States alone.
- the goal of this surgical procedure is to close the perforation, thereby preventing infection from contaminated water and improving hearing.
- the success of surgical procedure is critically dependent on a surgeon's ability to measure the shape of the defect, hand-cut an appropriately sized graft, and accurately place it.
- Defects of the tympanic membrane can be marginal or central, and typically are 2 to 10 mm across. Smaller perforations of the tympanic membrane can result in low-frequency hearing loss, while larger perforations can cause both high-frequency and low-frequency hearing loss. This hearing loss makes it difficult to listen effectively in learning enviiOnments and social gatherings with background noise.
- Cartilage can be harvested easily from the outer ear, the tragus, or the concha! bowl.
- Tragal cartilage is harvested with perichondrium attached via a small incision on the internal surface of the tragus. This graft must be carved free-hand to the appropriate size, which can be extremely difficult with irregularly shaped perforations.
- This disclosure provides a system and method for creating a 3D bioprinted graft for repair of a tissue perforation or defect based on a scan of the tissue perforation or defect.
- the system for creating a 3D bioprinted graft including a tablet having a custom software application that is configured to capture an image from an endoscope and allow the surgeon to outline the defect.
- the application is configured to create a 3D model that will be sent to a 3D bioprinter to print the graft, which can then be implanted directly in the ear.
- the bioprinted graft can increase the success of eardrum repair, which would improve and normalize a patient's hearing, and eliminate the risk of ear infection from water exposure.
- Current techniques for eardrum repair are suboptimal due to the manual nature of the procedure.
- This disclosure provides an example of the invention used for an eardrum repair, however, this invention can have broader applications to other medical pathologies such as intestines for microperforations, brain covering (Dura mater) for determination of potential Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) leaks, and vascular systems to determine arterial wall damage prior to aneurysm rupture in strokes. Further this technology can be used for pediatric applications.
- FIGS. 1 A and IB show diagrams of a method for creating a 3D bioprinted graft according to an example
- FIG. 2A shows a perforated tympanic membrane according to an example
- FIG. 2B shows a manual measurement of dimensions o the perforated tympanic membrane according to an example
- FIG. 2C shows a cartilage graft that is manually cut according to an example
- FIG. 2D shows the cartilage graft that is manually cut implanted in the perforation according to an example
- FIG. 3 is an image of a 3D bioprinter according to an example
- FIG. 4 shows an implanted bioprinted graft into the perforated tympanic membrane according to an example
- FIG. 5 shows an exemplary computer according to an example.
- the present disclosure relates to a system for address a problem in the ear.
- the system images a tympanic membrane.
- This imaging may merely provide a two dimensional representation of the membrane from the outside or may obtain further information about the membrane such as the thickness of the membrane.
- the system further detects a defect such as a hole and the size of the defect in the membrane from the image(s) having a reference and/or based a predetermined knowledge of the size and/or based on an average size and/or based on additional size information provided by a sensor such as a structure sensor.
- the system additionally generates a model of the defect, such as a hole, and a model of a graft to be inserted into the defect.
- the graft is bioactive and supports the growth of tissue through and/or around the graft.
- the graft may be yielding and thus expand after being compressed before insertion into the defect or may be more ridged and be "snapped" into place by being slightly larger than the defect on the outside but smaller on the inside (grommet shaped).
- the graft is bioprinted (e.g. 3D printed) and then may be inserted into the defect. After a period of time the defect disintegrates as new tissue growth replaces the graft.
- tympanoplasty is the surgical technique to repair a defect in the tympanic membrane with the placement of a graft.
- the goal of this surgical procedure is to close the perforation, thereby preventing infection from contaminated water and improving hearing.
- the ability to accurately fix and repair an eardrum hole is critically dependent on a surgeon's ability to measure the size and shape of defect so they can accurately carve a graft.
- various techniques have been developed for this procedure, the cartilage grafting techniques have a varying reported success rate of 43% to 100%.
- An EARgraft system including a sensor configured to capture images of the defect, an EARgraft application configured to control display of the defect and to receive a set of graft dimensions and a position of cells, biomaterials and corresponding synthetic cartilage materials from the surgeon.
- the EARgraft application is also configured to convert the set of graft dimensions and the position of cells, biomaterials and corresponding synthetic cartilage materials to a set of instructions for printing the graft on a 3D biological printer (bioprinter).
- bioprinter 3D biological printer
- Bioprinting is a technology in the field of tissue engineering, which enables fabrication of constructs with precise control of the position of cells, biomaterials, and biochemical signals to recreate complex tissues and organs. Bioprinting is well suited for tympanoplasty as the eardrum consists of heterogeneous tissue with complex cellularity, mechanical properties, and biochemical signals.
- the senor can be a video camera configured to capture images through an endoscope.
- the sensor can have two video cameras or a feature such that the sensor is configured to capture 3D images and stereo images through the endoscope.
- the sensor can also be an integrated part in an endoscopic system.
- the EARgraft application is configured to import the image of the ear from an endoscope view and to control display of the image on the tablet. Further, the EARgraft application is further configured to capture images from the endoscope and allow the surgeon to precisely outline the defect, including a defect size with a sub-millimeter level of accuracy. In an aspect, the EARgraft application will allow the surgeon to view the images from the endoscope on the tablet in real-time and select an image for capture at any time. The EARgraft application configured to control display of a user interface for the surgeon to outline the defect. In an example, the surgeon can outline the defect using a touch pen configured to communicate with the tablet.
- the surgeon can outline the defect using an augmented/virtual reality input.
- the EARgraft application can be written in Microsoft Visual C++ and can be run on a tablet computer or tablet such as a Microsoft Surface Tablet.
- the tablet can be any other computer having processing power to smoothly run the EARgraft application and to receive input from the surgeon.
- the tablet can include a USB port for interfacing with a peripheral device such as a video capture device and a frame grabber.
- a peripheral device such as a video capture device and a frame grabber.

- the video capture device is configured to connect to the endoscope and to capture the images for viewing and storage on the tablet.
- the video capture device can be a frame grabber configured to capture the image from a Storz endoscope.
- the video capture device can include a fiduciary marker configured to provide a calibration scale at the defect.
- the fiduciary marker can be an optical projection on portions of the tissue surrounding the defect.
- the surgeon can place a ruler at the same level as the defect and in view of the endoscope image. Similar to the fiduciary marker, the EARgraft application will use the ruler to calibrate the graft size after outlining by the surgeon.
- the video capture device is configured to determine a thickness of the tissue and the tissue perforation.
- the tablet can be configured to determine a shape of the tissue perforation based on a 2D image.
- the shape of the tissue perforation based on a 2D image can be determined by an edge detection algorithm.
- the surgeon can use a touch pen or mouse to precisely outline the defect.
- the EARgraft application can be configured to provide the exact dimensions of the defect.
- the application can allow the surgeon to zoom in as much as desired to improve the precision of the outline.
- the application will generate a set of instructions to create the graft based on the user input.
- the application is configured to convert the image file format to a stereolithography (STL) format used by the 3D bioprinter, which can be transferred by a memory stick.
