About
Insiyyah Patanwala is a clinical researcher specializing in perioperative pain management and minimally invasive gynecological surgery, with a focused body of work examining regional anesthesia techniques and their role in optimizing postoperative recovery. Her most impactful contribution, a 2016 randomized controlled trial comparing extended-release and short-acting bupivacaine for wound infiltration prior to laparoscopic hysterectomy, has garnered 35 citations and helped shape evidence-based protocols for multimodal analgesia in gynecologic procedures. Building on this foundation, Patanwala has directed substantial attention toward transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks, investigating their efficacy in women undergoing both laparoscopic and robotic gynecological surgery through retrospective analyses and, most recently, a 2025 Cochrane-style systematic review aimed at definitively establishing best practices in this patient population. Her work addresses a clinically meaningful gap — the need to reduce opioid reliance and shorten hospital stays following minimally invasive procedures. Though her citation record remains developing, her consistent focus on rigorous trial design and patient-centered outcomes positions her as a meaningful contributor to the evolving field of enhanced recovery in gynecologic surgery.
