Studies and medical training

His academic path began at the Medical School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, where he was admitted through national entrance examinations.

After completing his medical studies, he continued his training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. During his specialty training, he gained experience in hospitals in Greece and the United Kingdom, covering key areas of his field.

His training included vaginal deliveries, caesarean sections, high-risk pregnancy monitoring, colposcopy, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound.

At the same time, he obtained the DFFP diploma from the Faculty of Family Planning and successfully completed MRCOG Part 1 of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the United Kingdom.

Clinical experience in the United Kingdom

A significant part of his clinical training took place in recognised hospitals in the United Kingdom. These included St Peter’s Hospital Surrey, Northampton General Hospital and Luton & Dunstable General Hospital.

Through daily hospital practice, Panagiotis Kaliantzis gained substantial experience in managing complex obstetric and gynaecological cases.

He later worked as a Registrar at North Manchester General Hospital and St Mary’s Hospital Manchester. This experience further strengthened his familiarity with demanding cases and modern clinical practices in obstetrics and gynaecology.

Specialisation in IVF

His subspecialty training in IVF and assisted reproduction took place at the IVF unit of Liverpool Women’s Hospital. This unit is one of the largest IVF centres in the United Kingdom.

There, he was trained in all key stages of infertility investigation and treatment. His training included couple assessment, selection of personalised IVF protocols, oocyte retrieval, embryo transfer and intrauterine insemination.

He also gained experience in the management of male infertility through techniques such as TESE and PESA.

Experience in assisted reproduction

In the field of assisted reproduction, Panagiotis Kaliantzis has performed more than 6000 IVF cycles.

His experience covers a wide range of cases, from straightforward infertility treatments to more complex cases. His special scientific interests include repeated IVF failures and endometrial receptivity.

His long-standing involvement in reproductive medicine allows him to assess each case based on the medical history, test results, the needs of the couple and the factors that may affect the outcome of treatment.

Gynaecological endoscopic surgery

Gynaecological endoscopic surgery holds an important place in his medical career. Panagiotis Kaliantzis received further training in laparoscopic surgery at Royal Free Hospital London, gaining specialised experience in minimally invasive techniques.

Throughout his professional career, he has performed more than 700 hysteroscopic procedures. These include the removal of polyps, fibroids and other intrauterine lesions.

In addition, he has performed more than 500 laparoscopic procedures, including the removal of ovarian cysts, treatment of endometriosis, removal of fibroids and laparoscopic hysterectomies.

Significant medical case

Among the cases that stand out in his career is the achievement of pregnancy through IVF in a woman who had previously undergone bone marrow transplantation.

This case was the first of its kind in Greece and one of the few reported internationally. The pregnancy was achieved through a specialised medical approach and close obstetric monitoring.

Under his continuous medical supervision, the patient gave birth to a healthy child in 2020. This case represents an important milestone in his medical career and highlights his experience in complex fertility cases.

His presence in two cities allows him to serve patients from both Attica and the Peloponnese. He also collaborates with HYGEIA IVF, as well as the maternity hospitals MITERA, REA and IASO.

These collaborations support the provision of comprehensive services in fertility, pregnancy and gynaecological care.
