About

Dr. Mark D. Walters is a leading authority in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, with a career dedicated to advancing surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). His landmark 2013 paper on the surgical treatment of vaginal apex prolapse, cited over 50 times, established foundational principles for managing this common age-related condition that impacts quality of life and sexual function. Dr. Walters is particularly renowned for his comparative effectiveness research; his 2016 study tracking long-term outcomes of uterosacral colpopexy versus minimally invasive sacral colpopexy over six years provided critical insights into recurrence rates, helping surgeons choose optimal procedures. Beyond surgical technique, he has pioneered the assessment of intraoperative judgment using script concordance testing, a novel approach to measuring decision-making skills across the gynecology continuum. His work advocating for increased utilization of minimally invasive hysterectomy has shaped modern practice, emphasizing safety and route selection. With a career spanning tertiary care leadership, Dr. Walters’ research directly informs clinical guidelines, offering evidence-based solutions that improve patient outcomes and surgical education.
