Abstract Background : To analyze the initial learning curve (LC) for robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy (RAPD) and compare RAPD during the initial LC with open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD) in terms of outcome. Methods : This study is a retrospective review of patients who consecutively underwent RAPD between October 2015 and May 2019 in our hospital. Experiences from 30 initial consecutive RAPD cases, considered the initial LC of a single surgeon team, were compared with those from laparotomy cases during the same period in terms of outcome. Preoperative demographic and comorbidity data were obtained. Perioperative data on operation time, blood transfusion, numbers of harvested lymph nodes, 90-day mortality and readmission, surgery-related complications, postoperative hospital stay, and total costs were acquired for analysis. The operation time for RAPD was evaluated using the cumulative sum(CUSUM) method. Results : Seventy-eight patients, including 30 consecutive RAPD cases and 48 consecutive open cases, were enrolled for review. The demographic and comorbidity characteristics of the two groups were similar. Compared with OPD, RAPD required a significantly longer operative time (423.67 ± 137.627 min vs. 228.75 ± 44.988 min, P < 0.001) and higher cost (185700 ± 54500 RMB vs. 120600 ± 41700 RMB, P < 0.001). Moreover, compared with the OPD group, the RAPD group revealed a significantly smaller mean number of lymph nodes harvested in malignant cases (8.72 ± 4.9 vs 14.26 ± 7.633, P = 0.007). No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of incidence of Clavien–Dindo grade III–V morbidities and 90-day mortality and readmission. In the CUSUM graph, one peak point was observed at the 8th case, after which the operation time began to decrease. Conclusions : RAPD is safe when performed in well-selected patients by well-trained teams with extensive experience in open pancreaticoduodenectomy during the initial LC,and the LC of RAPD may be shorten less than 30 cases.
