| Core Tip |
Although there has been a global trend to concentrate major liver resections in tertiary referral centers, it is not practical in the Caribbean region. However, the hepatobiliary centers in the Caribbean do not meet the criteria to be defined as high-volume centers. This study prospectively evaluated outcomes after 69 consecutive major liver resections in a Caribbean center that only performed 13.8 resections per year. With a major morbidity rate of 15.9% and mortality rate of 5.8%, we have shown that the clinical outcomes after major liver resections are acceptable in the established, low-volume hepatobiliary centers in the Eastern Caribbean. |
