Safi Dokmak
Hospital of Beaujon, Clichy, France
Safi Dokmak (MD, PhD) is a HPB surgeon at Beaujon Hospital (Clichy), University Paris VII, France. He did his surgical training in Paris Hospitals (Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris) from 1999 to 2004, whereas he did his residency from 2004 to 2008 in HPB surgery in Beaujon Hospital and since 2008 works in the same hospital as a consultant (Practicien Hospitalier). He is an expert in liver surgery, pancreatic surgery, liver and small bowel transplantation, by open and minimally invasive approaches. Furthermore, he is one of the pioneers for the development of pancreatic minimally invasive surgery with personal experience in more than 500 cases including all types of resection and many publications. Besides this, he has developed many innovations in all fields of HPB surgery including mostly the reconstruction of the vein by the parietal peritoneum. He has published more than 140 indexed publications, 10 textbook chapters and participated in close to 150 national and international conferences. He has participated in many retrospectives and randomized Europeans studies as well. He is a reviewer for many scientific journals like British Journal of Surgery and Annals of Surgical Oncology.

Marc Besselink
Amsterdam University Medical Centers, location AMC, The Netherlands
Marc Besselink (1976) is a Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) surgeon at the Amsterdam University Medical Centers, location AMC, the Netherlands with a strong clinical and research interest in pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis and laparoscopic HPB surgery. Marc finished his medical training in Utrecht in 2002. He earned his PhD (cum laude) on acute pancreatitis from Utrecht University in 2008 and MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care from Oxford University in 2014. In 2002, he was the co-founder of the Dutch Pancreatitis Study Group (www.pancreatitis.nl) and in 2012 he was the co-founder of the Dutch Pancreatic Cancer Group (www.dpcg.nl). He has coordinated the 2013 Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Management of Acute Pancreatitis for the International Association of Pancreatology and the American Pancreatic Association. He has published over 240 peer-reviewed papers and has (co-)developed and (co-)coordinated multiple randomized controlled multicenter trials in acute pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, several of which are published in The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA. In 2018, Marc Besselink became full professor in Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery at the University of Amsterdam.
Collection Overview
Minimally invasive pancreatic surgery is on the rise worldwide. Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) has been reported to be superior to open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) in terms of blood loss and hospital stay. The oncological safety of MIDP for pancreatic cancer, however, remains uncertain and randomized controlled trials are needed (Riviere et al, Cochrane Database Syst Rev 2016). Interestingly, a recent study comparing open and minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (MIPD), found similar morbidity and hospital stay, but higher rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula in the MIPD group (Klompmaker et al, Ann Surg 2018). These results may be related to the steep learning curve in MIPD suggesting the need of careful patients selection, access to a high number of patients and intense training for a safe implementation of this procedure.
In this collection, laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures (both MIDP and MIPD) performed by world-renowned pancreatic surgeons are shown.
