Abstract

This protocol describes the method for creating 3D-printed trachea models for use in high-fidelity simulation-based training and advanced surgical planning for pediatric patients undergoing slide tracheoplasty. The goal is to provide a template and methodology to allow for replicability and more widespread dissemination of these models to improve clinical training and patient care.
