Abstract

BackgroundGrowing evidence for the advantages of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) has been demonstrated internationally. However, there has been no structured training program for RPD in Japan. Herein, we present the surgical training model of RPD and a standardized protocol for surgical technique.MethodsThe surgical training model and surgical technique were standardized in order to implement RPD safely, based on the Dutch training system collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.ResultsThe surgical training model included various trainings such as basic robotic training, simulation training, biotissue training, and a surgical video review. Furthermore, a standardized protocol on the surgical technique was established to understand the tips, tricks, and pitfalls of RPD.ConclusionsSafe implementation of RPD can be achieved through the completion of a structured training program and learning surgical technique. A nationwide structured training system should be developed to implement the program safely in Japan.

Highlights

  • Growing evidence for the advantages of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) has been demonstrated internationally

  • The LAELAPS-3 consists of simulation training, suturing training on artificial tissue, video training, and proctoring of the first procedures [5]

  • The present study demonstrates our surgical training model and surgical techniques of RPD in accordance with the Dutch training system in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center

Summary

Introduction

Growing evidence for the advantages of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) has been demonstrated internationally. We present the surgical training model of RPD and a standardized protocol for surgical technique. Methods: The surgical training model and surgical technique were standardized in order to implement RPD safely, based on the Dutch training system collaborated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Conclusions: Safe implementation of RPD can be achieved through the completion of a structured training program and learning surgical technique. Takagi et al World Journal of Surgical Oncology (2021) 19:55 the multicenter training program for RPD (LAELAPS-3) was established in collaboration with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. We develop a surgical training model for RPD in Japan, including a training system, standardization of surgical techniques, and safe implementation, based on experiences from the clinical fellowship in the Netherlands
