[Surgical specialties societies and quality assurance: instead of federal office of social assurance--The Swiss Surgical Societies of the Union: future developments].

The competence is acquired during postgraduate formation, she is maintained by continuous training. In other words it is the quality and the duration of our postgraduate formation which guarantees us the quality of our work. It is up to the FMH and Surgical Specialties Societies to maintain the high standard of the postgraduate formation. This cannot be attained unless the number of postgraduate training places are limited, thus giving a larger experience in surgical skills. And although that the postgraduation centers would be in agreement with each other in the postgraduate courses and that at the end of the postgraduate formation a practical evaluation takes place.

[The technic of tracheotomy: experience with 250 tracheotomies].

The results of 250 tracheostomies, primarily or secondarily performed at the intensive care unit of the Surgical Department of the Basle University, are presented. The standardized technique of tracheotomy is described, details for the choice and management of large prestretched double-cuff tracheostomy tubes are given, a new method of low-pressure cuff-blocking is outlined. The follow-up studies --autopsy, clinical examination and tracheoscopy--demonstrate a very low complication rate, due to the technique of tracheostomy, the preferred tracheostomy tubes and the method of alternate low-pressure cuff-blocking.
