It is not just the Whipple procedure - everyone should ask their surgeon how many of these procedures have they done? The evidence is that the more procedures that they have done the better the outcomes for the patient. This is one of the reasons why less common cancers should be treated in a specialist centre.

...Every master and pilot prided himself on knowing exactly how much way his ship was making. He knew the ship, he considered the wind, he watched the sails, he watched the water. In fact, it was a matter which just could not be explained to the landsman. A good sailor knew his ship, and that was all. E. G. R. Taylor
