Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy: what factors are related to the learning curve?

2014

none 7 no PURPOSE: The factors related to the learning curve for laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy have rarely been evaluated. METHODS: A retrospective study of 32 patients who underwent a laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy performed at a high-volume center by a single pancreatic surgeon experienced with laparoscopic surgery was conducted. Pre-, intra- and postoperative data were collected. The primary endpoint was the length of the operation. The secondary endpoints were the conversion and reoperation rates, overall postoperative morbidity and mortality rates, the length of hospital stay and rate of unplanned splenectomy. RESULTS: The length of the operation and the cumulative sum of the …

Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in Italy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

2014

BACKGROUND: The use of laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy (LDP) increased in the past twenty years but the real diffusion of this technique is still unknown as well as the type of centers (high or low volume) in which this procedure is more frequently performed. DATA SOURCE: A systematic review was performed to evaluate the frequency of LDP in Italy and to compare indications and results in high volume centers (HVCs) and in low volume centers (LVCs). RESULTS: From 95 potentially relevant citations identified, only 5 studies were included. A total of 125 subjects were analyzed, of whom 95 (76.0%) were from HVCs and 30 (24.0%) from LVCs. The mean number of LDPs performed per year was 6.5. The…

Total pancreatectomy: indications, operative technique, and results: a single centre experience and review of literature.

2010

The aims of this study were to identify the indications to perform a total pancreatectomy and to evaluate the outcome and quality of life of the patient who underwent this operation. A retrospective analysis of a prospective database, regarding all the patients who underwent total pancreatectomy from January 2006 to June 2009, was carried out. Perioperative and outcome data were analyzed in two different groups: ductal adenocarcinoma (group 1) and non-ductal adenocarcinoma (group 2). Twenty (16.9%) total pancreatectomies out of 118 pancreatic resections were performed. Seven (35.0%) patients were affected by ductal adenocarcinoma (group 1) and the remaining 13 (65.0%) by pancreatic diseases…
