Esophagectomy for cancer: clinical concerns support centralizing operations within the larger hospitals
Diseases of the Esophagus, 06/11/09

Fujita H et al. - Concerning the number of esophagectomy operations performed per year in Japan, low-volume hospitals are defined as those where esophagectomy is performed less than five times per year, and high-volume hospitals are defined as those where esophagectomy is performed 40 or more times per year. If medical policy in Japan aims to further decrease the mortality after esophagectomy, then esophagectomy operations should be limited in these identified low-volume hospitals.
