Background: Laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) is one of the most technically challenging operations of minimally invasive surgery. We aimed to analyze the learning curve of a single surgeon who conducted 115 LPDs at a single center. Materials and Methods: From August 2015 to August 2020, 115 patients underwent LPD. Patient characteristics and perioperative variables were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Cumulative summation (CUSUM) and risk-adjusted cumulative summation (RA-CUSUM) analyses were used to evaluate the LPD learning curve. All variables were compared after dividing the learning curve phases. Results: After 74 cases, operative time improved based on the CUSUM analysis of the operation time. From the RA-CUSUM analysis, three distinct phases of the learning curve were identified (phase I: 1-42 cases, phase II: 43-73 cases, and phase III: 74-115 cases). The mean operative time was significantly lower in phase III compared with that in phases I and II (348.5 minutes versus 444.6 minutes and 439.9 minutes, P < .001 and P < .001, respectively). The rate of estimated blood loss >500 mL was significantly decreased among the three phases (P = .017). The conversion rate significantly decreased from 11.9% in phase I to 6.5% in phase II to 0% in phase III (P = .023). The rates of overall complication (Clavien-Dindo >IIIA), postoperative pancreatic fistula, and postpancreatectomy hemorrhage were significantly decreased as phases progressed. Postoperative hospital stay, 30-day mortality, and 30-day readmission did not significantly differ among phases. Conclusions: According to learning curve analyses, the LPD failure rate plateaued after 42 cases and stabilized after 73 cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
