Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Feasibility learning curve
Feasibility learning curves are based on operation time
1997-2019
Proficiency learning curve
Proficiency learning curves are based on major complications
1997-2019
Study Arms (2)
Early adopting surgeons
Surgeons who started performing LDP during phase 3 of the IDEAL framework; the Assessment phase. They received training in the form of fellowships, proctoring, and courses
Pioneering surgeons
Surgeons who started performing LDP during phase 2 of the IDEAL framework; the Development and Exploration phase. They did not receive any specific form of training and were therefore considered self-taught.
Interventions
Comparison of performed laparoscopic distal pancreas surgery in two different surgeon groups
Eligibility Criteria
Data of all consecutive patients who underwent elective LDP by 'pioneering' surgeons and early adopting surgeons in the period 1997-2019 were collected from a retrospective database of centers participating in the European Consortium on Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery (E-MIPS) or International Consortium on Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery (I-MIPS).
