FIGURE 2. Learning curve for laparoscopic surgery for right-sided colonic resections for all staff at CCF. A risk-adjusted CUSUM chart is displayed for a series of 457 consecutive patients. The predicted conversion rate to open surgery was calculated based on a multivariate model based on the patient BMI, comorbidity, type of resection, presence of intra-abdominal fistulae, and abscesses.
