Abstract
To help determine neurosurgical needs within communities and within the nation, operations and diagnostic procedures performed by neurosurgeons on residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, USA, in 1970-1974, were tabulated. This county was studied because its medical records are virtually complete. Annual rates (per 100,000 population) were 42 for lumbar disk removal, 6 for cervical disk removal and 7 for brain-tumor therapy. Other less frequent occasions for neurological surgery are also tabulated.Keywords
