[Clinical statistics on in-patients and operations during a 20-year period (1975-1994) at Department of Urology, Kansai Medical University].
The patients, diseases and operations experienced between 1975 and 1994 in our department were statistically analyzed. The numbers of in-patients and operations have been increasing since 1977. During these 20 years, endoscopic surgery has replaced many open surgical procedures. The introduction of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy has dramatically changed the therapeutic modality for urolithiasis, and decreased of the necessity of open surgery.
