Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Higher hospital and surgeon volume is associated with lower operative mortality for surgical procedures like radical prostatectomy.
The authors discuss the inverse relationship between hospital volume of surgical procedures and rates of operative mortality, looking in particular at surgeons' experience of performing radical prostatectomy and patient outcomes.
