Patient-specific 3D Surgical Simulation Method and Device
Summary
The USPTO published patent application US20260090838A1 by HUTOM Inc. for a patient-specific 3D surgical simulation method, device, and program. The invention covers acquiring patient scan images, generating 3D models of surgical areas with adjacent organs and blood vessels, modeling surgical equipment with environmental variables, and providing patient-specific surgical simulations. The application was filed December 2, 2024 and published April 2, 2026.
What changed
HUTOM Inc. filed a patent application for a method of providing patient-specific 3D surgical simulation that acquires scan images of a patient's body, identifies target objects along with adjacent organs and blood vessels, and generates first and second 3D models for the surgical area and equipment respectively based on 3D modeling data and environmental variables. The system then provides a comprehensive patient-specific surgical simulation combining anatomical and equipment models.
Medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers should note this intellectual property filing as it may indicate future competitive developments in surgical planning technology. Patent applications do not create compliance obligations, but tracking issued patents in this space can inform product development and freedom-to-operate analyses.

Abstract
A method for providing a patient-specific 3D surgical simulation method, according to the present invention, may comprise the steps of: acquiring a scan image including an image of a target object outputted by scanning a patient's body; identifying images of the target object and one or more organs and blood vessels adjacent to the target object in the scan image; generating a first 3D model of a surgical area on the basis of first 3D modeling data of the identified image and second 3D modeling data related to the one or more organs and blood vessels; setting third 3D modeling data and environmental variables for surgical equipment to be applied to the first 3D model; generating a second 3D model for the surgical equipment on the basis of the third 3D modeling data and the environmental variables; and providing a patient-specific surgical simulation on the basis of the first 3D model and the second 3D model.
