📄 Abstract

Governments and health insurers increasingly demand transparent quality-control mechanisms. A new type of reimbursement, “pay for performance,” is being discussed. Therefore, the development and implementation of guidelines constitutes an important step toward the introduction of optimal diagnostic and therapeutic concepts with the goal of improving the quality of treatment. Guidelines should define standards to help the surgeon in his or her daily work by finding the best surgical strategy for his patient.
