Expert Pelvic Floor and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery

Dr Alpaslan Caliskan, Specialist in Urogynaecology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, has been a fully ECERPS (European Center of Excellence for Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery) Certified Pelvic Floor Surgeon since May 2013. He trained in leading European urogynaecology departments and has performed over 8000 reconstructive pelvic floor surgeries to date.

Together with his colleague Prof Dr Klaus Goeschen, a world-renowned name in Pelvic Floor Surgery, Dr Alpaslan has developed innovative surgical techniques that address a variety of conditions related to pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence issues with quick healing times and high success rates, as published in the international literature. They are the authors of Kadin Pelvik Tabani (Female Pelvic Floor), published by Springer/Hipokrat.

Dr Alpaslan is a member of the Pelvic Floor and Cosmetic Gynaecology Association, the Urogynaecology Association, the Turkish Medical Association, the International Society for Pelviperineology, the International Urogynaecology Association and the Turkish Colon and Rectum Surgery Association. He speaks German and English.

Integral Theory Pelvic Floor Surgery

Pelvic floor problems, ineffective treatment options, and low success rates have frustrated gynaecologists for centuries. Naturally, the ones most affected are the patients. These issues were thought to stem from muscles or prolapsed organs. Even today, hysterectomy remains the most commonly performed procedure. Patients are still widely advised to use pessaries, a method even Hippocrates applied, and exercises are almost always presented as the first option (this is comparable to an orthopaedic surgeon advising a patient with a broken leg to perform exercises for six weeks).

In the early 1990s, Professor Petros from Australia demonstrated that the problem lies in the ligaments and fascia. His Integral Theory-based surgeries marked the beginning of a new era. Using this idea, Dr Alpaslan and Dr Goeschen have further developed techniques to perform reconstructive surgeries that are:

  • Organ-preserving
  • Designed to imitate original anatomy and physiology
  • Based on repairing ligaments and fascia with synthetic prostheses
  • With a minimally invasive and complete repair using the natural vaginal route

This approaches replaces procedures that completely close the vagina (colpocleisis), which are unappealing and non-aesthetic, and tissue/organ removal surgeries (vaginal hysterectomy, colporrhaphy, etc.), sometimes brutal abdominal surgeries (whether laparoscopic or open) that do not allow for comprehensive repairs, have limited effectiveness, and are physiologically unnatural.

Advantages of the Goeschen/Caliskan Technique

  • Exceptional success rates. Also suitable for patients who have had previous surgery using traditional techniques
  • Conservation of a healthy uterus whenever possible. Pregnancy after the operation is still possible
  • The procedure is performed through the vagina with small incisions and no vaginal shortening (minimally invasive vaginal surgery)
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Short post-operative stay in hospital (1-2 days)
  • Quick return to daily life. The majority of women will be able to return to their everyday activities on the day following discharge
  • The procedure is suitable for women of any age
  • Fewer complications

Treatments Offered

Dr Alpaslan Caliskan offers a comprehensive range of pelvic floor treatments designed to improve quality of life and address complex pelvic health issues. These treatments include:

  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Descensus uteri (uterus prolapse)
  • Cystocele and rectocele (bladder and rectal prolapse)
  • Enterocele and vaginal prolapse
  • Anal prolapse
  • Stress and urge incontinence
  • Lower urinary tract symptoms (nocturia, urgency, frequency)
  • Idiopathic fecal incontinence
  • Vaginal stricture due to previous operations
  • Difficulty in defecation

High Success Rates and Innovative Techniques

Dr Alpaslan Caliskan prides himself on an exceptional success rate. He has achieved a 98–99% anatomical success rate for pelvic floor surgeries, with a recurrence rate of less than 1%. Success rates for specific conditions include 95% for stress incontinence, 78% for urge incontinence, and 97% for defecation difficulties. His innovative approach, developed with Prof Dr Klaus Goeschen, which includes using a vaginal route for surgery, minimizing tissue removal, and employing synthetic tissue where needed, has led to reduced recovery times and long-lasting results. Unlike traditional abdominal techniques, their procedures enable patients to resume daily activities within a short period post-surgery.

Today, it has been exactly two months since my surgery. From the very first days, I was able to sneeze and laugh freely. Now, I can comfortably hold my grandchildren and take long walks. I had no pain after the surgery, and aside from the painkiller injection I received at the hospital, I didn’t need to take any painkillers. I wish I had met Dr Alpaslan much earlier and avoided all the difficulties I experienced.

It has now been 45 days since my operation. I would like to extend my endless thanks to Dr. Alpaslan, the successful and kind person who helped me regain my quality of life, which I thought was an impossible dream, his cheerful team, and Odak Hospital, which provided a safe and warm environment. I highly recommend trusting Dr. Alpaslan, whom I refer to as the “saviour of women.

I have suffered with Stress Incontinence for many years. As I increased in age the symptoms became severe especially with coughing, sneezing and laughing. The consultants in the UK were unable to help as the procedure required is not available anymore in the UK. In late January this year I made contact with Dr Alpaslan Caliskan who advised that he was able to help me. After many calls and texts and an in depth conversation about my symptoms and health I travelled to Turkey to have the procedure. After examination Dr Alpaslan advised that I should have the Mid Urethral Sling (TVT). I no longer have any incontinence and am able to carry on with my life normally. Dr Alpaslan has been extremely helpful and I would recommend him to anyone. The service I received was extremely professional, The operation was a success and I would not hesitate to recommend this Doctor to anyone. The surgery he performed is life changing.

I’ve had urinary incontinence since childhood. Recently, I had to do some heavy lifting, and as a result, my bladder prolapsed further, making it difficult for me to walk. I underwent surgery at a university hospital to lift my bladder, but it didn’t help, and I became worse than before. As soon as I stood up, my entire bladder would empty involuntarily, so I was practically living without standing up. After some research, I found Dr. Alpaslan Çaliskan. He diagnosed me with “Chained Vagina Syndrome” and recommended a two-stage surgery plan. After these successful surgeries, I fully regained my health and became even better than before. I want to thank Dr. Alpaslan Çalıskan for standing by me during this difficult and anxious process and for giving me hope when I felt helpless. I also appreciate how he always answered our questions with a smile and was always available whenever I needed him.

I’m 52 years old and had complete uterine prolapse for 14 years. I saw doctors in Ankara and Antalya, all of whom said my uterus needed to be removed. Based on a recommendation, I visited Dr. Alpaslan Çalıskan in Denizli. The consultation went great — he is a very kind and sincere person. He gave me a 98-99% guarantee that he could repair the prolapse without removing my uterus. I scheduled surgery for August 12, 2021, and it was a great success.

I’ve been dealing with uterine prolapse for 16 years. The doctors I consulted said that the success rate of a uterine repair surgery was around 40%, and there was a high risk of recurrence. They suggested that it would be better to remove my uterus. Because of this, I kept postponing the surgery. As my condition worsened, I started looking for a specialist in uterine prolapse surgery and found Dr. Alpaslan. I read patient reviews and, when I spoke to him, his confidence and explanation of the treatment plan reassured me. He mentioned a success rate of 98-99%, with less than a 1% chance of recurrence. This convinced me to go ahead with the surgery. Four and a half months later, my symptoms have disappeared. I’m extremely grateful to Dr. Alpaslan, and I highly recommend him to anyone with similar issues.

I had a bulge in my genital area, and the doctors I went to told me that I had an advanced bladder and uterine prolapse. However, they couldn’t give a clear answer about the success and whether it would recur, and they said the likelihood of recurrence was high. Through an acquaintance who had previously been operated on by Dr. Alpaslan, I contacted him. I had surgery in February 2024, and my complaints disappeared. I was very pleased with him. May God bless him, I returned to my normal life.

– RT

In the summer of 2023, I had my surgery, and Dr. Alpaslan closely monitored my recovery afterward. I completely got rid of my uterine prolapse. I began feeling better both mentally and physically. Many doctors recommend removing the uterus for women with this issue, but Dr. Alpaslan gives us hope, and this is a testament to his success. I can confidently say that Dr. Alpaslan is highly skilled and one of our country’s most valuable experts in this field.

Many women either delay addressing these problems or struggle to find the right doctor. I found my doctor thanks to this page and the reviews, and I wanted to share my successful surgery results. I want to thank Dr. Alpaslan a thousand times! Health should never be delayed, and if you’re dealing with these issues, the most important thing is to make a decision and find the right doctor. The best guidance in this decision comes from happy patients who have experienced the same issues, and I am one of them. Stay healthy.
