The influence of the I Go MILS (Italian group of minimally invasive liver surgery) registry on the implementation of the mils programs in a tertiary referral center

Abstract

In 2014 the I Go MILS registry was established with the aim to collect MILS experience and to promote it in Italy. Evidence indeed suggests that outcomes measurement and monitoring, if associated with auditing, feedback and public disclosure of data, lead to an improvement of the quality of care and to implementation of new technologies. The primary endpoint of the present study was to evaluate the recent trends in MILS diffusion and to analyze its correlation with the registry establishment in a single, tertiary referral center with specific commitment in laparoscopic liver surgery.
