Consolidating abdominal cancer surgery into fewer hospital departments can improve patient outcomes and reduce mortality. This reorganization is crucial for enhancing recovery after major gastrointestinal surgery.

Area of Science:

Surgical outcomes research
Health services research
Gastrointestinal surgery

Context:

International studies indicate a correlation between hospital/surgeon volume and improved postoperative outcomes.
Nationwide Danish data reveal high mortality and prolonged hospital stays for abdominal cancer surgery.
Abdominal cancer surgeries are currently performed across numerous departments in Denmark.

Purpose:

To evaluate the impact of hospital and surgeon volume on postoperative outcomes in abdominal cancer surgery.
To analyze nationwide Danish data on mortality and hospital stay after major gastrointestinal surgery.
To propose a reorganization strategy for improving surgical outcomes.

Summary:

Higher hospital and surgeon volume is associated with better patient outcomes post-surgery.
