Multicenter study reveals a learning curve of 85 procedures for minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy, indicating extensive experience is necessary to achieve optimal outcomes.
In experienced international centers, the learning curve length of MIDP for TBO was considerable with 85 procedures. These findings suggest that although learning curves for conversion, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss are completed earlier, extensive experience may be needed to master the learning curve of MIDP.
