[Clinical statistics on inpatients and operations during a ten-year period (1983, 10-1993, 12) at Department of Urology, Fukui Medical School].

ABSTRACT

A clinical statistic survey was carried out on the patients, diseases and operations experienced at the ward of the Department of Urology, Fukui Medical School between 1983 and 1993. The numbers of inpatients and operations have been increasing since 1991. The majority of the inpatients are those with neoplastic disorders, and the number is steadily increasing every year. After the development of new endourological technology and ESWL, the mode of operation has dramatically changed during the 10 years, trending toward minimally invasive surgery and improvement of the patient's quality of life.
