A clinical statistical survey of the operations was performed at our urology department during a 10-year period from 1993 to 2002. The total number of operations was 2,909 including 806 sessions of extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) that started in 1999. Since a combination unit of ESWL, fluoroscopic apparatus and digital video-urodynamics system was built next to the outpatient department in 1999, the number of operations and examinations has dramatically increased. Operations for bladders made up the greatest portion of all the surgeries and especially transurethral resection of bladder tumor and hydrodistention have been increasing.
