Impact of Merging two high-volume Centers on Patient Outcome
The merger of two high-volume centers for pancreatic surgery was associated with improved major morbidity, failure-to-rescue, and complication-related mortality following PD. This improvement, attributed to both improved patient management and increased surgical volume, highlights the potential for improving patient outcome.
