Results of an international survey show substantial variability in European hpb surgery fellowship programs, highlighting the need for a more standardized clinical curriculum. Fellowships typically last one or two years, with funding provided in 70% of cases. Fellows commonly perform pancreatic and liver resections as first surgeons, while minimally invasive procedures make up less than 10% of operations. Program directors estimate a higher number of operations performed by fellows compared to fellows’ reports.
