Learning curve for pancreatoduodenectomy: can it be generalized?

Learning curve for pancreatoduodenectomy: can it be generalized?

Background We hypothesized that a learning curve exists for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and that the factors that show a learning curve and the degree of improvement over time differ among surgeons. Methods We analysed the outcomes of PD in 300 patients operated by two surgeons between 2001 and 2014;...

Zusammenfassung:Background We hypothesized that a learning curve exists for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and that the factors that show a learning curve and the degree of improvement over time differ among surgeons. Methods We analysed the outcomes of PD in 300 patients operated by two surgeons between 2001 and 2014; these comprised the first 150 patients operated by each surgeon. Patients operated by each surgeon were classified into three groups according to the chronological sequence of operation (50 patients per group). Results For surgeon A, the median operation time (496 versus 454 versus 418 min, P
