Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The independent impact of surgeon volume on outcome of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy in a high-volume Institution was assessed. A significant reduction of pancreatic fistula rate was found in the high-volume surgeon group in comparison with low-volume surgeon group. However, no difference between groups was found in mortality, major complications, and hospital stay.
