Inanimate 3D printed model for thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula

BackgroundThoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) poses significant technical challenges. This study aimed to develop an inexpensive, reusable, high-fidelity synthetic tissue model for simulating EA/TEF repairs and to assess the validity of the simulator.M...
