Quality Comes with the (Anatomic) Territory: Evaluating the Impact of Surgeon Operative Mix on Patient Outcomes After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Background Recent support for centralization of complex operations, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), is based on surgeon-specific volume–outcome relationships. This study examined whether volume of anatomically related operations (operative mix), besides PD, is also independently associated with postoperative outcomes after PD.
