Key Words Pancreaticoduodenectomy; High volume centre
Core Tip Due to the complexity and challenging nature of pancreaticoduodenectomy, it is likely that both short- and long-term outcomes strongly depend on the cumulative number of cases performed by the surgeon as well as by the hospital. Strong evidence exists for volume-outcome relationship in which high volume centres have reduced perioperative morbidity and mortality. High volume hospitals are assumed to have structural characteristics associated with better quality of care, and providers in these hospitals are thought to improve their processes of care through experience in providing complex care. While the findings of this study are presented in terms of high, medium, and low volume periods, an important point exists regarding the volume-outcome relationship that must be emphasized. Thus for patients seeking to identify a hospital at which to have their surgery, the best strategy if all other factors are equal is to choose the hospital that performs pancreatic surgery most frequently.
