See the authors' detailed response to the review by Mustafa Suat Bolat See the authors' detailed response to the review by Luis Garcia-Covarrubias READ REVIEWER RESPONSES Introduction Kidney transplantation is the best available option for the management of end stage renal disease (ESRD). 1 Transplantation reduces the risk of cardiovascular and mortality events, while also improving quality of life compared to chronic hemodialysis. 2 Living donor transplantation is preferred over deceased donor, as it has better survival rates and less delayed graft function. 3 , 4 Laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN) is the standard surgical practice due to fewer complications associated with the treatment. 5 This technique includes standard laparoscopic, hand-assisted laparoscopic, hand-assisted retroperitoneoscopic, pure retroperitoneoscopic, and robot-assisted live donor nephrectomy. 6 – 9 Usually, surgeons will initially use transperitoneal approach for laparoscopic procedure due to its familiarity and natural orientation, then use retroperitoneal approach afterward. However, previous studies have shown that the retroperitoneal approach to LLDN has more advantages than the transperitoneal approach; namely shorter access to renal arteries and veins, better visualization during donor nephrectomy, and prevention of injuries of the liver, spleen, and bowel. 10 – 14 However, some adjustments to the techniques require additional training for the operators performing the technique. Evaluation of surgical practice performances could be done using the learning curve. 15 However, there has only a few studies regarding the learning curve of the retroperitoneal approach of LLDN. Moreover, a previous study only analyzed learning curve on a single operator, although LLDN is usually performed by a team, alternating between operators. 16 Therefore, this study aims to investigate the learning curve for retroperitoneal approach in LLDN among urologists in an individual and team-based approach. Methods A prospective analysis of laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN) procedures was done on four different urologists (operators) with different levels of experience from January 2019 to January 2022 at Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, Indonesia. All of the operators in our kidney donor team were included in this study. Total sampling method was performed on all the procedures performed during the time limit. The date was determined as the first LLDN in our center was performed in January 2019 while the endpoint was the most recent date that the yearly review of the procedure was carried out. Ethical Approval to conduct this study was issued by the ethics committee of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia–Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (KET-720/UN2.F1/ETIK/2018). All patients had received detailed preoperative counselling and their decision to undergo the procedure was taken with written informed consent prior to the surgery. Meanwhile, the data used in this study were collected from the medical records of the patients. The written permission was granted by the ethics committee of the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia–Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital for the publication of the study results. Demographical data was collected from the electronic medical record, including age, sex, and body mass index (BMI, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by square of height in meters). Preoperative data included number of arteries involved and side of the donor kidney. Intraoperative data included surgery duration, warm ischemic time (WIT), and estimated blood loss (EBL). Surgery duration was determined as the length of time from the first incision to renal artery clamping, as the final closure was sometimes done by the residents due to the study location being a teaching hospital. WIT was documented as the length of time from clamping to cold ischemic time. Postoperative complication was documented in accordance to the pre-existing data in the medical records. Operative technique The operative technique used in this study has been reported in other publications and become the routine technique used in our center, including for the subjects in this study. 8 , 17 The LLDN was done under general anesthesia and the donor was positioned in the lateral decubitus position. First incision was then made one finger below the 12 th rib with open approach (Hasson technique) to reach access to retroperitoneal space. Retroperitoneal space was created using balloon dilator. Afterward, an 11 mm trocar was then inserted into retroperitoneal space for camera. Other two incisions were made in line: one at the costovertebral angle and one the above anterior superior iliac spine. Pneumoretroperitoneum was created using a carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) insufflation and the pressure maintained at 12 mmHg. The psoas muscle was identified and the Gerota fascia was incised to expose the ureter. Furthermore, the gonadal vein was identified, and its course was followed upward to find the renal vein. Each renal pedicle was identified individually and dissected. Perirenal fat was then dissected from renal parenchyma and the kidney was mobilized. Further dissection was performed to renal artery until its base at aorta and renal vein until below gonadal and adrenal tributaries. The ureter was dissected until the distal part near its crossing to iliac vessel. Retrieval of the kidney was done via suprapubic access created through a modified Pfannenstiel incision. Operators In this study, the procedures were performed by four urologists, namely surgeon 1 (S1), surgeon 2 (S2), surgeon 3 (S3) and surgeon 4 (S4). S1 was a urologist with more than 15 years of laparoscopy experience, S2 was a urologist with more than nine years of laparoscopy experience, S3 was a urologist with more than eight years of experience, while S4 was a urologist with more than four years of experience. All of the urology surgeons had performed more than 100 transperitoneal approach LLDN with limited experiences in retroperitoneal approach for other laparoscopic urology procedures, such as partial nephrectomy, adrenalectomy, unroofing renal cyst and proximal ureterolithotomy. The learning method for retroperitoneal approaches used was done by viewing the video and visiting urology centers which are familiar with retroperitoneal approach of laparoscopy procedures, either for LLDN or for other nephrectomy procedures. The urology centers visited for the study were The Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Radboud University Medical Center (Nijmegen, Netherlands), and SLK Kliniken Heilbronn GmbH (Heilbronn, Germany). The operators acted as fellows in those centers for 1-2 years. The average of LLDN surgery in our hospital was between two and three surgeries per week. As per the protocol in our center, all the surgeons were arranged to have fair and similar opportunity to perform retroperitoneal approach LLDN regularly, including in the transition process. Statistical analysis Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis was performed with SPSS version 20 (RRID:SCR_016479)(IBM Corp, 2011) 18 to investigate individual surgeon operative time learning curves to reach optimal performance. Team-based analysis was separately performed to analyze the operative time by all of the four urologists. Three indicators, namely duration of surgery, WIT, and EBL were collected from pre-existing medical records and evaluated to represent the learning process taking place as the surgery repetition occurred. The CUSUM is the running total of differences between the individual data points and the mean of all data points, thus it can be performed recursively. The cases were ordered chronologically from the earliest to the most recent. The surgery duration for each case was defined as x i and the mean surgery duration of all cases was defined as μ. Therefore, the CUSUM at surgery duration n (CUSUM SDn ) might be calculated as follow: CUSUM SDn = ∑ i = 1 n x i − μ The CUSUM SD1 of the first case was the difference between the duration of surgery for the first case and the μ. The CUSUM SD2 of the second case was the previous case’s CUSUM SD added to the difference between the duration of surgery for the second case and the μ. The process then continued until the CUSUM SD for the last case was calculated. 19 All of the surgeons in this study experienced three learning phases as described in a previous study. 19 The three phases of the learning curve were identified by the inflection point of the CUSUM curve. Phase 1 (learning period) showed an expected incline in CUSUM curve which was the initial learning curve, phase 2 (proficiency) showed a decline in CUSUM curve, with a plateau which was the proficient phase with additional experience obtained leading to the achievement of expert competence. Phase 3 was defined as the post-learning (mastery) period, as seen in typical learning curve studies in which there was steeper decline of the CUSUM curve. To determine the difference of characteristics and outcomes between phases, the Chi-square test was used to analyze categorical data and Wilcoxon test was used to analyze numerical data. All statistical tests were 2-tailed, and a p-value of < 0.05 was considered to as statistical significance. The statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version 20 (RRID:SCR_016479) (IBM Corp, 2011). Results A total of 127 patients underwent LLDN during the three years [30], with 31 operations done by S1, 30 operations by S2, 38 operations by S3, and 28 operations by S4. There was no conversion to open nephrectomy during the surgeries performed in this study. Individual learning curve of retroperitoneal LLDN operator CUSUM analysis of LLDN operative time is shown in Figure 1 . Based on the analysis of each surgeons, the average number of procedures needed to achieve proficiency (phase 2) was 16.5. Meanwhile, the average number of procedures needed to achieve mastery (phase 3) was 28. However, S4 did not achieve mastery during the study, thus the average number of procedures needed to achieve mastery was calculated only for S1, S2, and S3. Figure 1.

Team-based learning curve of retroperitoneal LLDN operator Based on the analysis, it can be assumed that the number of procedures needed as a team to achieve proficiency (phase 2) was 66 procedures, while the number of procedures needed as a team to achieve mastery (phase 3) was 106 procedures ( Figure 2 ). Figure 2. Team-based learning curve of retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Living Donor Nephrectomy (LLDN) Operator. Clinical outcome compared to experience There was a significant reduction in operative time after proficiency and mastery of LLDN (P < 0.001). Meanwhile, intraoperative WIT, EBL, and postoperative complication shows no significant difference between phases ( Table 1 ). Table 1. Clinical outcome of donors in each phase.

Studies found that a minimally invasive approach is associated with perioperative lower blood loss, lower morbidity, 20 reduced analgesia use, shorter length of stay, and faster recovery. 5 Retroperitoneal approach or retroperitoneoscopic provides direct access to renal hilum without moving abdominal organs. Therefore, injury or bleeding of the organs could be avoided and bowel function may return rapidly following the surgery. 10 , 21 The crucial disadvantage of this procedure was the difficulty to orient the landmark due to the limited working space of the retroperitoneal approach in LLDN. 22 In terms of the learning curve, retroperitoneal approach is more technically demanding and has a steeper learning curve than the transperitoneal approach. 23 – 25 Learning curves represent the relationship between learning repetition and practice performance. 26 There are several methods that can be used to analyze the learning curves other than CUSUM analysis, such as graphical visual inspection, split-group method, and regression techniques. CUSUM method is considered the sensitive method adopted by surgical practice for self-and supervisor assessment. This method uses plotted graph and gives accurate progression and level of performance, thus, it can be used to show a process of achieving and maintaining a surgical technique proficiency. 15 A comparison study of retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy by a single surgeon between a high volume and a low volume hospital by van der Merwe et al . describes the learning curve differences in surgery time and WIT. This study shows the improvement based on the graph decline. 11 Meanwhile, a learning curve study of retroperitoneoscopic donor nephrectomy by Pal et al . analyzes the performance changes between three groups using the split-group method. However, this method has several biases based on its arbitrary group size option and uncertain changes. 27 In our CUSUM analysis study, on an individual level, an average of 16.5 procedures was needed to achieve proficiency and 28 procedures to acquire mastery in the transition from transperitoneal to retroperitoneal approach. There were some differences between the results of this study and other learning curve studies of the retroperitoneal approach of LLDN. Pal et al . 27 found a significantly reduced surgery time after 34 pure laparoscopic retroperitoneal nephrectomies. Chin et al ., 16 though, observed a substantial difference in surgery time after 150 cases, although this study did not use the CUSUM model analysis. The second reduction of operation time or mastery is found after 300 laparoscopic nephrectomies in a study by Nakajima et al . 28 However, the procedures needed to achieve both proficiency and mastery in our study differed on each operator. Operator 1 who had more experience in other surgeries only needed 12 procedures before achieving proficiency, while other operators needed more procedures in accordance with their prior experiences. Based on the CUSUM analysis, it was found that 66 procedure was needed to achieve proficiency (phase 2) and 106 procedures to acquire mastery (phase 3) for team-based approach of the transition from transperitoneal to retroperitoneal LLDN. Team-based analysis shows a more gradual improvement in operation time compared an individual surgeon-based analysis. A study by van der Merwe et al . shows that the subgroup analysis of a single surgeon shows a more graphically evident improvement in operation time than the team-based analysis. 25 However, LLDN is usually approached by several operators, as it is technically demanding and require a significant amount of time. Several variables could affect the learning curve of the retroperitoneal approach of LLDN. The technical skills of each surgeon are related to shorter surgery time and lesser complications. The advantages of the retroperitoneal approach may relate to the surgeon’s experience as the vessel injury, or surgical complications were lower in the more experienced surgeon. 10 , 20 In this study, urologists that have more experience achieve proficiency in operation time in fewer procedures. A study by Zhang et al . showed that senior surgeons had a better learning curve for laparoscopic procedures. Operation time was also significantly faster, with a lower conversion rate to open surgeries. 29 Proficiency-based guidance, part-task training, and assigning practice over time might optimize the learning curve. 30 There were other problematic factors, such as obese donors prolonged the surgery time then affected the learning curve. 6 A few millimeters of perinephric fat would significantly prolong the surgery time. 31 A limitation of the study is in the methodology as it is a study based on pre-existing medical records and done in a single center, with limitation of indication of nephrectomy side (whether left or right) and no random assignment of surgeons to the cases. Therefore, information bias may occur due to the data input, processing, and collection. Moreover, being a teaching hospital, the performance of urology residents as the operative assistant may create another bias, especially for the operative time. Furthermore, regardless of whether it was transperitoneal or retroperitoneal, the surgeons had previous extensive experience in laparoscopic surgery. However, we have limited the calculated operative time to only from the first incision to renal artery clamping, as the final closure was sometimes done by the residents. Conclusions Transition from transperitoneal to retroperitoneal approach in laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy has a certain learning curve time to achieve proficiency and mastery, both on the individual and team-based analysis. Prior experience and focused training may improve the learning process. The transition to retroperitoneal approach is a feasible option to improve the outcome of LLDN.

Mention the limitations of the study before reaching the conclusions, as it is a retrospective study and is limited by the indication for nephrectomy (right or left) and the assignment of surgeons to the cases, which is not commented on. Furthermore, regardless of whether it was transperitoneal or retroperitoneal, the surgeons had extensive experience in laparoscopic surgery.

Therefore they only can state that they decided to convert their technique to Retro. Otherwise, it could be misunderstood that nephrectomy should primarily be managed by transperitoneal and it might be converted to retro. Response : It is true that usually the surgeons will initially use transperitoneal approach for laparoscopic procedure due to its familiarity and natural orientation, then use retroperitoneal approach afterward. The statement will be added for clarity Methods How did the authors identify Phase 1, 2 and 3? Response: The three phases of the study are explained in the methodology section using the CUSUM analysis, as stated “The three phases of the learning curve were identified by the inflection point of the CUSUM curve. Phase 1 (learning period) showed an expected incline in CUSUM curve which was the initial learning curve, phase 2 (proficiency) showed a decline in CUSUM curve, with a plateau which was the proficient phase with additional experience obtained leading to the achievement of expert competence. Phase 3 was defined as the post-learning (mastery) period, as seen in typical learning curve studies in which there was steeper decline of the CUSUM curve.” Introduction Second paragraph: Preferentially, l advise the authors to cite paper 1 .
