Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is one of the most upcoming research areas which apply 3D printing technology in medical and surgical applications. The basic concept of 3D bioprinting is to design tissue scaffolds to replace diseased or injured tissues. Gastroenterology is one of the medical fields in which 3D bioprinting is being rigorously researched. Although attempts are made to design 3D-geometrical constructs, the overall performance is currently hindered by limitations, including material viability and toxicity affecting the clinical outcome. However, further research at the current pace should overcome these limitations, helping open a new horizon in gastroenterology. In this review, we cover all the aspects of 3D bioprinting in gastroenterology with a holistic perspective on its current limitations and future perspectives in clinical applications.
