DRGs system allows the grouping in a single grad-bag code of a number of similar surgical procedures carried out in patients homogeneous for age, physical status, complication and so on with similar costs. Therefore this grouping method is useful for payment to hospitals. The Authors have coded with DRGs the surgical activity of a general surgery staff during a year to verify the image that DRGs bears. Seven hundred diagnoses of dismission were related to operated on patients while one hundred twenty seven were related to patients treated with medical therapy. The DRGs more numerous were 290, 258, 198, 162, related with thyroidectomy, mastectomy, cholecystectomy and herniorrhaphy.
