title: [D. Documentation and statistics. Therapy code for all surgically active disciplines].
abstract: The study group of the German Society for Medical Documentation. Information and Statistics presents a suggested code that is an extension of VESKA. Since it only extends from Head to Gynecology, the Eltze-Eichler code is recommended for Orthopedics and Extremities. A general 6-digit code classified under different facets is being developed.
