Influence Of Surgeon Practice Type On Recurrence After Paraesophageal Hernia Repair: A Retrospective Cohort Study
-
Community repairs were associated with higher recurrence rates; however, community surgeons also treated an older and more medically complex patient population.
-
Key Finding: Surgeon practice type, fellowship training, andvolume are critical determinants of long-term PEH repair durability.
-
Volume vs. Training: High case volume (>40/year) and fellowship training were the strongest protective factors against recurrence.
-
Safety Profile: PEH repair is performed safely across both academic and community settings, with no significant difference in 30-day morbidity.
-
Future Work: Prospective studies are needed to validate the impact of standardized training on community-based outcomes.
