Video Summary

In the video transcript, Dr. Walton discusses the Colpolast Altus single incision sling, highlighting its unique design and material properties compared to other slings on the market. The presentation includes data from an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) study and a comparison study (522) showing the safety and effectiveness of Altus over three years, with emphasis on decreased pad weights, improved patient satisfaction, and comparable outcomes to traditional retropubic and transopturatory slings. Dr. Walton addresses questions regarding sling choice for different patient populations, revision procedures, and long-term outcomes, advocating for the Altus sling based on his positive experiences and study findings. There are also questions about comparisons to other single incision slings and adjustments for anatomical variations. Dr. Walton concludes by sharing his personal adoption of Altus as a preferred choice for index patients, especially those with urethral hypermobility.
