The analysis was limited only to procedures in which the residentacted as the main surgeon. Data were recorded prospectively within theframework of the mandatory six-month portfolio and variables such as number ofprocedures, their subspecialty, complexity, and year of residency in which theywere performed were evaluated. Of the surgeries in which he acted as anassistant, only the total number was recorded. Results: During the periodanalyzed, the resident participated in a total of 945 surgeries, of which he acted asa surgeon in 744, assisted and/or supervised by a licensed urologist, and in 201 heacted as an assistant.
