Abstract

Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is a technically challenging surgical procedure. This congenital anomaly is rare; therefore, training opportunities for surgical trainees are limited. There are currently no validated simulation tools available to help train pediatric surgery trainees. The simulator that was developed is a low-cost, reusable model. It simulates the right side of a term neonate chest and contains a tissue block that has been surgically modified to replicate the anatomy of EA/TEF.

摘要

胸腔镜下食管闭锁合并气管食管瘘（EA/TEF）修复术是一项技术要求很高的外科手术。这种先天性异常较为罕见；因此，外科实习生的培训机会有限。目前尚无经过验证的模拟工具可用于帮助培训小儿外科实习生。所开发的模拟器是一种低成本、可重复使用的模型。它模拟足月儿胸部的右侧，并包含一个经过手术改造以复制EA/TEF解剖结构的组织块。
