Abstract
There are regional differences for hospital costs and outcome with pancreaticoduodenectomy in Florida. Regions with lower costs had more pancreaticoduodenectomies performed by high-volume surgeons, shorter LOS, and lower in-hospital mortality rates. Regional differences in cost and quality-of-care need to be studied and abrogated to provide uniform optimal care.
