This is a single, retrospective, observational study to investigate the risk factors for achieving textbook outcome after laparoscopic duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection.

Increasing numbers of benign or low-grade malignant neoplasms at the head of pancreas are being diagnosed due to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Laparoscopic duodenum-preserving total pancreatic head resection (LDPPHR-t) has been accepted as a valid alternative treatment for benign and low-grade malignant neoplasms at the head of the pancreas. The evaluation of quality of LDPPHR-t is important for surgeons to improve surgical quality. Currently, the evaluation of surgical quality mainly depends on some single outcome indicators, such as morbidity, mortality, readmission rate, or hospital stay. These single outcome indicators are difficult to accurately reflect the overall surgical quality and the composite outcome measures may be better than single outcome indicators. Textbook outcome (TO) is such a composite concept and is realized when all the requirements after operation are achieved according to the "all or none" principle. TO reflects the ideal surgical outcome and is a multidimensional measure for surgical quality assurance. However, the risk factors for achieving TO after LDPPHR-t is unknown and no relevant articles have been reported so far. The objective of study was to identify the risk factors for achieving TO after LDPPHR-t.
