| Abstract: | Objective: General surgery trainees interested in performing hepatopancreatobiliary (HPB) surgery can choose from multiple fellowship pathways, namely HPB, surgical oncology (SO), and abdominal transplant-HPB (TXP-HPB). Although focused on similar operations, each program offers distinct clinical and technical emphases. Design: An annual inter-institutional exchange between TXP-HPB and SO fellowships, starting in 2014. Setting and Participants: TXP-HPB fellows from Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) and SO fellows from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Results: About 14 fellows have participated in the exchange so far, 13 of whom responded to our survey. At MSKCC, TXP-HPB fellows performed a median of 24 cases, including 6 major pancreatic resections, 3 major hepatectomies, 4 hepatic artery infusion pump insertions, and 1 major biliary case. At WUSTL, SO fellows performed a median of 16 cases, including 5 liver transplants, 2 major pancreatic resections, 2 major hepatectomies, and 2 major biliary cases. About 92.3% of respondents stated they would repeat the rotation, with SO fellows emphasizing the exposure to vascular anastomoses and transplant-HPB fellows appreciating the oncologic focus. Conclusions: A monthlong inter-institutional exchange offers a unique opportunity to standardize and improve HPB education. © 2024 Association of Program Directors in Surgery |
