[Statistics on the operations at the Department of Urology, Fuji City General Hospital during a 10-year period (January 1989-December 1998)].
A 10-year statistic survey was carried out on the operations performed at the Department of Urology, Fuji City General Hospital. The total number of operations was 1,862 cases during 10 years. The number of operations for malignant tumors has increased since 1994 year after year. Transurethral resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia has decreased since 1992, with the advent of the alpha 1-blocker. The patients with urolithiasis are being cured by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on an outpatient basis, at our hospital, except in special cases. It was suggested to be safe, so the complications needing admission appeared in only 1.2% of the cases.
