Modern standards of registering the medical information involve a creation of registers of patients with various nosologicalentities, which allows to standardize the services provided by the health care system, as well as to increase the efficiency and safety of treatment in actual clinical practice. The Pancreatic Disease Register of the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery, which is a database of patients with pancreatic diseases and their surgeries, has become very popular in the medical field. The register is a multidisciplinary database with its own infrastructure, coordination center and it contains information on surgical diseases and surgical interventions performed on the pancreas. The register is used to collect and analyze information online and integrates clinics of German-speaking countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria), as well as doctors from other countries after receiving the relevant permission. The review analyzes the features of information collection and the creation of own register infrastructure, aspects of the implementation of methodological and organizational support, as well as the nuances of its logistics. The ways of statistical processing and validation of the collected information are listed, the possibility of autonomous functioning of the system and the presence of strict measures to protect the confidentiality of data are emphasized. The register is an optimal set of possibilities for correct, full-fledged introduction and analysis of extensive medical data, which is a prerequisite for conducting the prospective randomized studies in the field of pancreatic surgery.

AbstractMost countries have their own programs and requirements for surgical residency. To investigate the differences as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the programs and to explore the happiness of the residents in the different countries, the Surgical Working Group of “Young Surgeons” of the German Society for General and Visceral Surgery has designed a questionnaire. It focuses on three parts: structural and legal requirements, operating room (OR)- and non-OR-related content of the program, and contentment of the residents. In this opinion paper, first the results are shared by the description of the programs in nine different countries. It is shown that the requirements to become a surgeon differ highly between the different countries. Nonetheless, a structured curriculum, the possibility of feedback or a surgical mentoring program, and transparency regarding the OR schedule seem to be important to all residents to reach job satisfaction.

AbstractThyroid nodules and cysts are frequently diagnosed in Germany with a prevalence of about 20% in young adults reaching up to 70% in older adults. Surgery is the standard treatment of symptomatic nodules, nodules with suspicion of malignancy and thyroid cancer. Radioiodine treatment is applied for autonomously functioning nodules. During the last years new non-surgical and non-radioiodine techniques have been introduced to treat thyroid nodules. These techniques include ethanol/polidocanol treatment, radiofrequency, microwave, and laser ablation, and high frequency ultrasound ablation. A significant reduction in nodule size could be documented for these techniques in several studies, but long-term outcome data are missing. Until now, there is no general consensus regarding the appropriate indications for these methods. For this reason, the Thyroid Section (German Society for Endocrinology), the Thyroid Working Committee (German Society for Nuclear Medicine), and the German Association of Endocrine Surgeons (CAEK) for the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV) reviewed the respective literature, discussed the pro and cons and developed a consensus statement and recommendation to help physicians and patients in their decision making.

Abstract Background In contrast to adults, for whom guidelines on the cholelithiasis treatment exist, there is no consistent treatment of pediatric patients with cholelithiasis throughout national and international departments, most probably due to the lack of evidence-based studies. Methods We evaluated the German management of pediatric cholelithiasis in a dual approach. Firstly, a retrospective, inter-divisional study was established, comparing diagnostics and therapy of patients of the pediatric surgery department with the management of patients aged < 25 years of the visceral surgery department in our institution over the past ten years. Secondarily, a nation-wide online survey was implemented through the German Society of Pediatric Surgery. Results Management of pediatric patients with cholelithiasis was primarily performed by pediatricians in the retrospective analysis (p < 0.001). Pediatric complicated cholelithiasis was not managed acutely in the majority of cases with a median time between diagnosis and surgery of 22 days (range 4 days–8 months vs. 3 days in visceral surgery subgroup (range 0 days–10 months), p = 0.003). However, the outcome remained comparable. The hospital’s own results triggered a nation-wide survey with a response rate of 38%. Primary pediatric medical management of patients was confirmed by 36 respondents (71%). In case of acute cholecystitis, 22% of participants perform a cholecystectomy within 24 h after diagnosis. Open questions revealed that complicated cholelithiasis is managed individually. Conclusions The management of pediatric cholelithiasis differs between various hospitals and between pediatricians and pediatric surgeons. Evidence-based large-scale population studies as well as a common guideline may represent very important tools for treating this increasing diagnosis.
