Rechecked the link
Sorry you're having problems. When I click the link, I get the specific article. I'm a member, so maybe that's the difference. Sign up for a membership. It's free and there are some good articles on there.
The article specifically addresses how outcomes, complications, operative time, and a bunch of other variables relate to surgeon experience. Some factors were statistically significantly different, others tended towards differences and some factors were no different.
The article is worth reading, and it doesn't contain much arcane terminology. If the link still doesn't work, just search for keywords "Charite" and "surgical volume" and that should give you the article.
