Abstract:
Total quality management in andrology does exist for different lab diagnostics and endocrinology, not however for andrological surgery. Scientific investigations and comparisons to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of certain procedures as well as advanced training courses held by professional societies are commendable, but do not reach the level of modern high-class total quality management. Case-related procedures based on routine data or case-covering, on routine data of the health insurance schemes based procedures are also conceivable for andrological surgery, but since andrological surgery accounts for about 1.5% of all urological surgery this is not the main point of interest.
