Surgical residency programmes are supposed to enhance resident operative experience. The impact of urology residency was assessed at our institution before and after establishing a structured urology training programme in 2006. ⋯ Whereas creation of the urology training programme in JUTH has resulted in more operative cases done by trainee urologists, the exposure to endosopic surgeries has declined. This will not augur well for the training programme in the long run. Periodic rieiew of the data should be performed to maintain consistent, positive experiences for residency training.
