生物材料为外科医生提供了一套强大的用于患者治疗的临床工具，并且几乎存在于手术室中的所有仪器、设备、植入物或设备中。事实上，外科医生历来一直推动生物材料的临床应用，并处于独特的地位，可以为生物材料的持续发展做出贡献。了解可用材料及其基本特性有助于获得更好、更有效的结果。本文概述了生物材料领域。它从该领域的定义和简要历史开始，强调其临床根源。然后介绍四种材料类别——金属、聚合物、陶瓷和复合材料——为读者提供每组材料的基本特性和材料示例。关于纳米技术和组织工程的部分还简要描述了该领域的发展。最后，介绍了漏斗胸和先天性膈疝治疗的进展，强调了生物材料的作用。本文在提供该领域的入门知识的同时，展示了材料科学在外科领域广泛的跨学科影响，并提出了进一步研究的来源。
Biomaterials offer the surgeon a powerful set of clinical tools for patient treatment and are found in virtually every instrument, device, implant, or piece of equipment in the operating room. In fact, surgeons have historically driven clinical application of biomaterials and stand uniquely positioned to contribute to the ongoing development of biomaterials. Having an understanding of the materials available and their basic properties can contribute to better and more effective outcomes. This article provides an overview of the biomaterials field. It begins with a definition and abbreviated history of the field, highlighting its clinical roots. An introduction to the four material classifications--metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites--is then presented, providing the reader with basic properties of each group and examples of materials. Sections on nanotechnology and tissue engineering also briefly describe development within the field. Finally, the evolution of treatments for pectus excavatum and congenital diaphragmatic hernias are presented, highlighting the role of biomaterials. While providing a primer of the field, this paper shows the broad interdisciplinary reach of material science in surgery and suggests sources for further investigations.
