Prostate resection speed: A key factor for training and broad outcomes?

Table 1 Surgeon caseload, prostate resection speed and complication rate and binary successful outcome

Operating Surgeon	No. TURP performed	Mean PRS (g/min)	% Clavien-Dindo ≥ Grade II	% Successful outcome at 3 mo
Consultant A	21	0.59	14	95
Consultant C	9	0.40	11	100
Consultant D	20	0.23	10	85
Consultant E	38	0.43	16	82
Trainee 1	10	0.31	0	80
Trainee 2	27	0.36	0	93

TURP: Trans-urethral resection of prostate; PRS: Prostate resection speed.
