Trial summary

This study delineates the learning curve of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) for first-generation surgeons, using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) to assess patient outcomes and the PD-ROBOSCORE to stratify patients for their risk to develop post-operative complications.

About this study

This study delineates the learning curve of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) for first-generation surgeons, using the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) to assess patient outcomes and the PD-ROBOSCORE to stratify patients for their risk to develop post-operative complications.

Read the detailed description

This study aims to define the learning curve of a first-generation surgeon who implemented robotic pancreatoduodenectomy. When compared to previous studies on the same issue, the current study has several distinctive features. Firstly, the learning curve was defined using the cumulative sum method, with the comprehensive complication index as the main outcome metric. The comprehensive complication index provides a holistic view of the burden of postoperative complications in each individual patient, correlating with key outcome measures such as length of hospital stay, use of hospital resources, and ultimately mortality. Secondly, outcomes were adjusted by procedure complexity based on the newly described PD-ROBOSCORE (Surgery. 2023;173:1438-1446). This is the first study assessing the learning curve of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy while incorporating difficulty levels.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Robotic Pancreaticoduodenectomy, run by University of Pisa.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-operative complications (time frame: 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Dec 2024.
