National discrepancies in residency training of open simple prostatectomy for benign prostatic enlargement: Redefining our gold standard.

CONCLUSIONS: Although recognized and referenced as the BPH gold standard for the treatment of prostates over 80 cc, Canadian urology trainees' annual OSP exposure remains extremely limited. Considering the degree of importance given (category A) to the direct observation (of a minimum of five) of this intervention during residency training in the new Royal College's practice guidelines, it may be unrealistic to reach these national standards considering the annual case OSP volumes in Canadian academic urology faculties.
