Hospital and surgeon volume in relation to long-term survival after oesophagectomy: systematic review and meta-analysis

Conclusions This meta-analysis demonstrated better long-term survival (even after excluding early deaths) after oesophagectomy with high-volume surgery, and surgeon volume might be more important than hospital volume. These findings support centralisation with fewer surgeons working at large centres.
