Dear Editor

We would like to thank Schiøtz et al. [1] for their interest in our editorial on the use of surgical databases in urogynaecology [2].

We are pleased to know that there is an established quality urogynaecology registry in Norway and that its use is compulsory. It is very encouraging to learn that the coverage rate is 98.5% and that it has achieved the highest possible quality rating in Norway. This should provide an excellent incentive to promote the use of surgical databases in our subspecialty.
