Brief project description

• This project is set up in light of the change of the nomenclature concerning the surgery of the vertebral column. This modification will couple the reimbursement of spinal surgery to the obligatory registration of data. Therefore a new registry, which is linked to the nomenclature, has been created where all surgical procedures of the vertebral column need to be registered for all hospitals.
