149 Five Years of the CC-ERUS Fellowship: A Survey of the Experiences and Post-fellowship Work of the Fellows Results A total of 143 people received the survey. Overall, 63% (n=90) responded and 50% of these respondents underwent CC-ERUS RARP fellowship. Almost 50% of the respondents were residents in training at the start of the CC-ERUS fellowship. Of the remaining fellows more than half have less than 2 years of experience as a certified urologist. 49% and 71% of the respondents had no experience as a first surgeon in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, respectively. Most of the participants (55.6%) had a clinical fellowship of more than six months, 8.9% had a clinical fellowship of three months. During the fellowship, 76% of the respondents were 3 or more days a week in the operating room. 47% of the respondents performed more than 5 robotic cases per week, not all of these cases were RARP (table 1). Almost all respondents (96%) felt there was enough progression in difficulty in the steps of the RARP they were allowed to perform. 73% of the respondents performed or assisted in more than 45 cases during their fellowship. Almost all participants (86.7%) were able to perform a complete RARP case during their fellowship. Overall, 20 and 8.9% of the responders were able to perform a complete RAPN and RARC case, respectively (table 1).
