Course Description:
This conference will focus on international evidence-based guidelines on minimally invasive pancreas resection surgery (MIPR) that aim to give guidance to surgeons, hospital administrators, patients and medical societies on the outcome and direction to be taken regarding this challenging type of surgery. The conference will also aim to identify areas in which collaborative research is needed.

Goal:
International experts in the field of pancreas surgery will gather to develop MIPR Guidelines based on literature review on PICO and non-PICO questions related to left sided pancreatectomy, central pancreatectomy, pancreatoduodenectomy, patient selection, techniques, training and implementation and instrumentation.

Topics:
• Guidelines Development
• Central Pancreatectomy
• Learning Curve
• Minimally Invasive Pancreas Resection Surgery
• Pancreatectomy
• Pancreatoduodenectomy
• Patient Selection
• When to Convert

Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this conference, participants should be better able to:
• Explain the current status of minimally invasive pancreas surgery (MIPR). 
• Examine what the current evidence-based literature says about MIPR.
• Evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of MIPR
• Recognize the process of how the guidelines are created and the need for implementation.
• Identify current gaps in MIPR outcomes evidence and participate in initiatives to fill these gaps.
