Welcome to Pediatric Surgical Urology
The VCU Division of Pediatric Urology faculty represent the best and brightest from multiple subspecialties within urology.
All of our surgeons are board certified or eligible by the American or European boards of urology and represent subspecialty interests that include urologic oncology, robotic surgery, male infertility, andrology, reconstructive surgery, pediatric urology, neurourology, and pelvic reconstructive surgery.
Congratulations to Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU!
