Video Transcription

Video Summary

Summary: This video is a webcast discussing the use of biologic grafts in surgery for pelvic organ prolapse. The speaker, Dr. Peter Rosenblatt, presents different types of biologic grafts available, including autografts, allografts, and xenografts, and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. He also emphasizes the importance of proper fixation points when using biologic grafts and shares a video demonstration of a surgical technique using a biologic graft. The video presents some evidence on the use of biologic grafts, including a Cochrane Review and other studies, but concludes that more research is needed to determine the efficacy and effectiveness of biologic grafts compared to native tissue repairs or synthetic mesh. The speaker also mentions ongoing FDA studies on transvaginal mesh and biologic grafts. Overall, the video highlights the potential benefits and considerations of using biologic grafts in pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
