HPB Fellowship Registry - Europe, Africa & Middle East

The purpose of HPB Robotic Surgical Fellowship certification is to confirm that the recipient has received education and training, and achieved competence, in a broad array of HPB disease and surgical management, as well as a minimum robotic experience in performing complex HPB operations. Goals: The goal of the HPB Robotic fellowship is to provide the fellow with the experience necessary for him/her to provide comprehensive, state-of-the-art surgical care to patients with surgical diseases/disorders of the liver, pancreas, biliary tract and duodenum. This will include the ability to perform operative robotic procedures, and provide the pre- peri- and late postoperative care. The primary goals for the fellow can be broken down as follows: -Master the perioperative assessment and risk stratification of patients requiring robotic surgery -Gain additional experience in the day-to-day management of patients after major abdominal robotic surgery -Gain additional understanding in the principles of preoperative HPB cancer evaluation and selection -Gain experience with the multi-modality treatment of HPB cancer and the role of robotic surgery in the context of other anti-cancer therapies -Refine robotic surgical skills, performing HPB operations —these cases routinely include pancreaticoduodenectomy, liver resections, biliary reconstructions, distal pancreatectomy, etc.
