We have read with great interest the editorial "Use of surgical databases in urogynaecology" by Abdelrahman, Moore and Trochez [[1]], and we agree wholeheartedly that good quality surgical registries are needed and that compulsory registries ensure better data quality. The Norwegian Female incontinence registry is a nationwide, compulsory quality registry for incontinence surgery performed in Norway. The registry issues annual reports of national and department level results to all participating departments and also reports detailed results to each individual department at surgeon level.
