Minimally Invasive Distal Pancreatectomy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Registrar Performance in Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy and Its Effect on Postoperative Outcomes
This study aimed to determine whether registrar involvement in minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) was associated with adverse outcomes.
From January 2009 to March 2020, data of all consecutive patients requiring distal
pancreatectomy in our public tertiary hospital were prospectively collected and
retrospectively analyzed.
Registrars were progressively involved for MIDP since 2009 and their experience was: < 5 open
pancreatic resections, < 5 MIDP and at least 30 advanced minimally invasive gastrointestinal
resections.
Outcome of patients who underwent either distal pancreatectomy by the consultant or
registrars were compared.
Our primary outcome was the conversion rate. The secondary outcomes were 90-days
postoperative outcomes including CR-POPF defined and classified according to the 2016 ISGPF
definition.
