This paper reports a retrospective review of 40 patients who underwent 48 surgical procedures to treat extracranial cerebrovascular disease. The surgery was performed at the Port Kembla District Hospital (a 145-bed regional institution) between 4 October 1984 and 9 September 1987. Carotid endarterectomy was the most common operation (n = 44, 91.6%). The survey reports the patterns of presenting symptoms, risk factors, investigations, surgical detail and early and late complications, and compares these with other published series. Operative and peri-operative morbidity and mortality were within contemporary international standards: mortality 0% (reference range: 0-1%); stroke 2.1% (1-3%); transient ischaemic attack 6.3% (0-8%). These results support the contention of other authors that international standards for extracranial cerebrovascular surgery are achievable in regional institutions.
