Learning Curve of a Laparoscopic Pancreaticoduodenectomy Program at a Second Institution

CONCLUSIONS: The learning curve and average operative time of an SI laparoscopic PD program was shorter than the initial learning curve for a single surgeon with comparable outcomes. This suggests that complex minimally invasive surgical programs can be safely transferred to another high-volume institution without significant loss of progress.PMID:38587270 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241246163
