Abstract
Background
The Japanese National Clinical Database (NCD) is a large-scale, nationwide, web-based data entry system that covers the majority of surgical cases performed in Japan. An NCD specializing in urological surgery was launched based on the NCD system in 2018.
Methods
All urological surgeries performed at more than 1000 institutions were registered from 2018. We herein report the number of surgeries conducted as stipulated in the “Certified Urology Surgeon Training Curriculum” between April 2018 and December 2021.
Results
A total of 1 377 677 cases were registered from 1185 facilities nationwide under the initiative of the Japanese Urological Association. We examined the number of procedures performed every year for each of the 10 categories.
Conclusions
The NCD system sustainably provides important information relating to the preoperative status, operational outcome, and best practice for urological surgery in Japan.
