Department of Urology
Fellowships
The Adult and Pediatric
Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship was founded in 1975
by Charlie and Pat Devine. This two-year (optional three-year) program
emphasizes basic research and female/pelvic reconstructive procedures in
the first year, and advanced penile/ urethral reconstructive procedures
in the second year. Due to the unique and high volume nature of this
referral practice, resident experience is not diminished. Currently,
there are three fellowship-trained pelvic reconstructive physicians on
faculty. We are a participating fellowship program in the
Society for Urodynamics and
Female Urology (SUFU).
A fellowship in Endourology/Laparoscopy
was founded in 2002 by Michael D. Fabrizio, and is accredited by the
Endourology Society. Clinical
exposure to advanced endourology and laparoscopy procedures is obtained
including percutaneous/ureteroscopy, laparoscopic/robotic radical
prostatectomy, and the full range of laparoscopic kidney surgery—radical
nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, donor nephrectomy, cryotherapy,
pyeloplasty, and adrenalectomy.
Four active faculty, one community, and
two Navy routinely employ laparoscopic techniques, and therefore both
residents and fellows are well-trained. Endourology/Laparoscopy fellows
are expected to obtain a Virginia license and credentials as junior
faculty so they can practice limited general urology. Clinical research
with presentation at meetings is supported.
