American Association of Genitourinary Surgeons (AAGUS)

The American Association of Genitourinary Surgeons is an association of leading academic urologists from the United States, Canada and around the world, dedicated to the study of diseases of the genitourinary system.

In response to a letter addressed to them by Dr. Edward L. Keyes, Sr., a number of gentlemen met at Number One Park Avenue, New York City, on October 16, 1886, for the purpose of organizing a Society to be devoted to the study of genitourinary and venereal diseases. Letters and telegrams of acceptance from others who could not attend the meeting were read.
