German version]. / Akkreditieren und Zertifizieren von Schädelbasiszentren in Deutschland durch die Gesellschaft für Schädelbasischirurgie (GSB).

ABSTRACT

The German Society for Skull Base Surgery (Gesellschaft für Schädelbasischirurgie, GSB) has developed a protocol for the certification of GSB skull base centres. The development of such a protocol has led to numerous open and sometimes controversial discussions among the GSB members. The various critical discussion points will be reviewed and the ensuing results, which will then be included in the accreditation protocol, presented. The current GSB accreditation protocol will be presented and explained in an international comparison.
