Conclusions Difficulties were encountered in applying the score when simultaneous multiple wedge resections were performed. The laparoscopic DSS is applicable to robotic LRs with some limitations due to the peculiarity of the two different minimally invasive approaches. A specific robotic difficulty rating score could be necessary to include these elements.Introduction Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is challenging. We addressed this by designing a fully synthetic simulator of the procedure and described the design process and how its content validity was assessed. Methods An iterative design and assessment of content validity was undertaken in three stages. Data were collected from participants who trialed the model and completed a survey of their experience (adapted from Barsness et al.). Results The model was trialed by participants of varying experience. Each design refinement improved the model's fidelity and validity. For the last iteration of the simulator, the observed averages (out of a maximum of 5) were value as a training tool 4.8, relevance 4.6, physical attributes 4.5, realism of material 4.25, realism experience 4.17, and ability to perform tasks 3.77. Conclusion An iterative design process based on end-user feedback has led to a synthetic simulator that has achieved a high level of content validity. This model has advantages over other EA/TEF simulators in that it is relatively inexpensive and does not use animal tissue, thus removing ethical and procurement issues. It was rated highly for its value and relevance to training.A probiotic is considered a live microbial feed supplement that has beneficial effects on the host. In this study, the probiotic property by which strain HS-08 increased intestinal acetate levels and enhanced IgA
