Abstract
The value of minimally invasive pancreatic surgery (MIPS) is still uncertain, despite the growing number of publications, including reviews and meta-analyses, and the quick diffusion of these procedures worldwide. The Italian Group of Minimally Invasive Pancreas Surgery (IGoMIPS) was created under the auspices of three Scientific Societies: Associazione Italiana Studio Pancreas (AISP), Associazione Italiana Chirurgia Epato-Bilio-Pancreatica (AICEP, former IT-IHPBA), and Società Italiana di Chirurgia Endoscopica (SICE). The main aim of IGoMIPS is to develop and implement a national registry for MIPS. IGoMIPS was founded on February 22, 2019 in Pisa. The IGoMIPS registry became operational in September 2019, following approval by the Ethic Committees of founding Institutions, inscription into the Registry of Patient Registries (RoPR), and a wrap-up meeting held in Bologna during the Annual Congress of the Italian Surgical Society. During this meeting IGoMIPS members approved that the Italian Registry will provide data to the European Registry, while retaining the right to analyze and publish Italian data. An audience survey was also conducted to obtain information on perceived value and current implementation of MIPS in founding Institutions. MIPS is performed in 94.7% of IGoMIPS centers, including pancreaticoduodenectomy in 42.1%. Robotic assistance was employed in 52.6% of Institutions. The annual volume of MIPS was 6–10 cases in 38.9% of the centers, 11–20 cases in 16.7%, 21–30 cases in 22.2%, and > 30 cases in 22.2%. The registry was felt to be extremely important for both safety improvement and educational purposes by 94.5% of the centers.
