Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study compared the learning curves and outcome of Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy between 'pioneers' and early adopters in terms of feasibility and proficiency using short term outcomes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Learning curves of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) are mostly based on 'pioneering' surgeons who acquired sufficient proficiency largely through self-teaching. No learning curves have been investigated for early adopting surgeons who performed surgery in later stages of the IDEAL framework and build on the experience of the 'pioneering' surgeons. This study compared the learning curves and outcome of LDP between 'pioneers' and early adopters in terms of feasibility and proficiency using short term outcomes over a period from 1997-2019.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

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

Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Comparison of performed laparoscopic distal pancreas surgery in two different surgeon groups

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.
