    Three-dimensional (3D) modeling and printing technologies are increasingly used in pediatric surgery, offering improved anatomical visualization, surgical planning, and personalized approaches to complex conditions. Compared to standard imaging, patient-specific 3D models—virtual or printed—provide a more intuitive spatial understanding of congenital anomalies, tumors, and vascular anomalies. This review compiles evidence from pediatric surgical fields including oncology, abdominal, and thoracic surgery, highlighting the clinical relevance of 3D applications. The technological workflow—from image segmentation to computer-aided design (CAD) modeling and multimaterial printing—is described, emphasizing accuracy, reproducibility, and integration into hospital systems. Several clinical cases are presented: neuroblastoma, cloacal malformation, conjoined twins, and two cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (one with congenital pulmonary airway malformation, CPAM). In each, 3D modeling enhanced anatomical clarity, increased surgeon confidence, and supported safer intraoperative decision-making. Models also improved communication with families and enabled effective multidisciplinary planning. Despite these advantages, challenges remain, such as production time, cost variability, and lack of standardization. Future directions include artificial intelligence-based automation, expanded use of virtual and mixed reality, and prospective validation studies in pediatric cohorts. Overall, 3D modeling represents a significant advance in pediatric precision surgery, with growing evidence supporting its safety, clinical utility, and educational value.
