This study assessed the hospital-related case volume, after adjusting for a surgeon case volume, as the strongest predictor of decreased mortality in few surgical procedures (lung and pancreatic resection, repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, and cystectomy). The need of a peri-operative long stay and the importance of all hospital-based services could reasonably explain such an influence from the hospital rather than the surgeon volume.
