Summary
- Dr. Culligan is well known for his skills in advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques and his high quality clinical research studies. In 2001, Dr. Culligan became one of the first Urogynecologists in the U.S. to regularly perform the sacrocolpopexy operation laparoscopically.
In 2004, Dr. Culligan moved to New Jersey where he founded the Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery for The Atlantic Health System where he established a Board-approved fellowship program and published over 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts regarding his clinical research - which is primarily focused on ways to improve and/or teach minimally invasive surgical techniques for the correction of prolapse and incontinence.
While in NJ, Dr. Culligan also developed a particular expertise in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, and he has become a world renowned teacher of those techniques.
Although he is widely known for his surgical techniques, Dr. Culligan always tries to find a non-surgical approach for his patients. In fact, he was selected by the prestigious journal Obstetrics & Gynecology to author a peer-reviewed manuscript entitled "Non-Surgical Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse"which has since become required reading for all Board certified OB-Gyn doctors in the U.S.
Dr. Culligan sees female patients for evaluation and treatment of a wide variety of pelvic floor disorders and urogynecologic conditions conditions, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, fecal incontinence, frequent urinary tract infections, urinary urgency, fistulas, complications of vaginal mesh or slings requiring mesh removal, labial hypertrophy, and various complex gynecologic conditions. . Dr. Culligan’s clinical philosophy is centered around patient education and personalized treatment paths.
