Letter to the Editor Comment on: The Space Child Neonatal Trainer (SCNT), a Novel 3D-Printed Simulator for Neonatal Laparoscopy

Abstract

The publication on “The Space Child Neonatal Trainer (SCNT), a Novel 3D-Printed Simulator for Neonatal Laparoscopy [1]” is interesting. Although this study shows great creativity in creating a low-cost, real-world patient-based model for training newborn endoscopic surgery, it is important to take into account certain conceptual and methodological limitations. First first, the SCNT model might not accurately represent the physical differences of babies in the actual population because it was created using CT images of just one baby.
