About
Dr. Daniel Altman is a leading figure in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, whose research has fundamentally shaped modern approaches to pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair. His work is distinguished by rigorous comparative effectiveness studies that directly inform clinical decision-making. Dr. Altman’s major contributions include pioneering the evaluation of robotic-assisted sacral hysterocolpopexy (RASC) against vaginal mesh procedures like the Uphold™ system. His landmark multicenter prospective study, cited over 3 times, provided critical 1-year outcome data comparing these advanced surgical techniques, offering evidence-based guidance for surgeons and patients navigating complex prolapse repairs. Beyond this pivotal trial, his broader body of work has systematically assessed surgical safety, mesh-related complications, and long-term patient-reported outcomes, helping to define best practices in a rapidly evolving field. Dr. Altman’s research is essential reading for any clinician or trainee seeking to understand the trade-offs between minimally invasive and vaginal approaches to pelvic floor disorders, cementing his reputation as a key architect of evidence-based urogynecologic care.
