First Year of the European Registry for Minimally Invasive Pancreatic Surgery (E-MIPS)

Abstract

Purpose: The European registry for minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (E-MIPS) collects data on laparoscopic and robotic MIPS procedures in all low-and high-volume centers across Europe. The aim is to monitor and report on safety and quality outcomes of MIPS in daily clinical practice. Pancreatic surgery is known for high postoperative morbidity rates. The minority of these procedures is done through a minimally invasive approach. Methods: This is an analysis in the prospective multicenter E-MIPS registry, including data of all minimally invasive distal pancreatectomies (MIDP) and minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomies (MIPD) of the first year (2019) of the E-MIPS registry. Main study parameters were patient demographics, perioperative-and oncological outcomes.

Minimally Invasive Pancreatoduodenectomy: Contemporary Practice, Evidence, and Knowledge Gaps

“…Several nationwide and multicenter studies have been published or are still ongoing [32][33][34][35][36]. Sharpe et al found a higher 30-day mortality rate in patients treated laparoscopically (OR 1.89, p = 0.009), using data from the National Cancer Database.…”
