Centralizing surgical care, this study investigated small intestinal neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) resections’ outcomes based on procedure volume. High-volume centers (HVCs) performed over five SI-NET resections annually, while low-volume centers (LVCs) did fewer. HVCs showcased better surgical quality, with more lymph nodes resected, advanced techniques, and higher success rates. Optimal SI-NET resection was prevalent in HVCs, supporting the centralization of SI-NET surgical care for improved outcomes.
