Highlights:• This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 3-dimensional printed vaginal dilator in reducing radiation-induced vaginal stenosis in patients with cervical cancer
• The findings suggest that although most patients still developed vaginal stenosis after treatment, the dilator may help reduce its severity, with most patients experiencing only mild symptoms
• This study highlights the potential of 3D printing technology in developing medical devices that support personalized care and help reduce treatment-related complications
