Influence of Individual Surgeon Volume on Oncological Outcome of Colorectal Cancer Surgery

Background. Surgery performed by a high-volume surgeon improves short-term outcomes. However, not much is known about long-term effects. Therefore we performed the current study to evaluate the impact of high-volume colorectal surgeons on survival. Methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of o...
