[Surgery of lumbar disk prolapse in Scandinavia. A questionnaire study in Scandinavian neurosurgical departments in 1993].

This article consists in a review of treatment for lumbar disc prolapse in 1993, as reported by all 22 neurosurgery units in the Nordic countries, serving a total population of 23.5 million. Of surgical operations for the condition, 37 per cent were performed by neurosurgeons-using standard lumbar discectomy in 61.3 per cent of cases, microsurgical techniques in 36 per cent of cases, and percutaneous lumbar discectomy in the remaining 2.7 per cent. Chemonucleolysis is no longer considered a viable therapeutic alternative. In the Nordic countries as a whole, the annual incidence of lumbar disc prolapse surgery is 52.5 per 100,000, though the figure varies from one country to another.

The situation of hospital hygiene in Scandinavia.

The situation of hospital hygiene in Scandinavian countries, especially Finland, is described. The infection control activities are most often also quality assurance and management, although the infection control staff does not always realize it. The features of infection control in all Scandinavian countries are similar, but they differ in details. Most hospitals have Infection Control Committees with an advisory and expert role in infection control, but normally with no executive power. All Scandinavian countries have a network of skillful Infection Control Nurses working together with the Infection Control Officer of the hospital. The Scandinavian countries have advanced guidelines for various procedures and other activities that need infection control alertness. The voluntary infection control societies have a major role in the development of infection control activities and education. The development of suitable process and outcome quality indicators are a demanding task for the future.
