title: [Surgical activities at urologic departments in Slovakia 1990-1993].
abstract: In 1990 "The classification of urological operations" was introduced to all urological departments in Slovakia. The aim of the classification was to evaluate the quality of work of individual departments in respect of recent trends in surgical therapy. The annual analysis shows the procedures, which are necessary to be replaced by modern ones. The review of the first four-years shows the increase in number of operations almost by one third. Twenty of most common operations represent 73.4% of all urological procedures. The most frequent operation is prostatectomy accounting 11.8% of all operations. During the follow-up period the therapy of urolithiasis has changed principally. The results of surgical activity analysis support the need to extend methods of urinary diversion using intestine and to increase the number of radical cystectomies and prostatectomies.
