Hello again Lauren0125,

Please download the following document that provides 2002 German Health Statistics.

I believe some prostate operation data is on page 17 


2.4 Mit operation = With operation
2.4.1 Anzahl = Number
2.4.2 Verweildauer= Period spent

Would the number of operations for code C61 serve your purpose?

C61 Bösartige Neubildung der Prostata

The number of operations is 52,264. I can provide this number broken
down by age group.

Prostata is prostate

Please let me know if this would be helpful.
 
Thanks,
Bobbie7

Hi Bobbie7,

Same as with the kidney question, I need to know of all of the
operations that were performed on the prostate, how many were radical
prostatectomies.

Hi Lauren0125!

I´ll let you know if I locate more specific information for you.

Thanks,
Bobbie7

Lauren0125,
Did it ever occur to you to respond to at least one of Bobbie7-ga's
several postings by suggesting that he post it as an answer?  He seems
to have found the best source that is available, even it does not
provide the detail you would like.

Myoarin,
Lauren015 is a good customer here at GA and I have answered a great
number of her questions. She doesn't have to accept this data source
if it doesn't serve her purpose.

Sorry, my apologies.  I just had the short term view.
