Surgical outcomes in gastroenterological surgery in Japan: Report of the National Clinical Database 2011-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We aimed to present the 2019 annual report of the gastroenterological section of the National Clinical Database (NCD).

Methods

We reviewed 609,589 cases recorded in 2019 and 5,029,764 cases registered from 2011 to 2019 for the 115 selected gastroenterological surgical procedures.
