The clinical statistics of the operations at the Department of Urology, Tokatsu Hospital: from 1994 to 1999

We investigated the clinical statistics of the operations and inpatients since the establishment of the department in June 1994 up to May 1999. The total number of inpatients was 1,269 (1,047 males and 222 females), and a total of 1,098 operations were performed. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotriopy (ESWL) was also introduced in 1997, and in addition, it seemed that the number of operations and inpatients would be increasing in future.
