About

Nafisseh S. Warner is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on advancing gynecologic surgery and postoperative recovery. Her key research areas include minimally invasive gynecologic procedures, pain management, and enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. Warner's most notable contribution is her 2020 randomized controlled trial, "Abdominal Ice after Laparoscopic Hysterectomy," which investigated the efficacy of cryotherapy in reducing postoperative pain and opioid use—a critical area given the ongoing opioid crisis. This study, cited 7 times, provides evidence-based guidance for simple, non-pharmacologic interventions that improve patient comfort and shorten recovery times. Warner's work bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, emphasizing practical, low-cost strategies to enhance recovery. Her research is particularly impactful for trainees and clinicians seeking to integrate evidence-based pain management into routine practice. By rigorously testing common clinical assumptions, Warner demonstrates how small, thoughtful changes in perioperative care can significantly improve patient experience and reduce reliance on opioids. Her contributions are a valuable resource for anyone interested in optimizing surgical recovery and advancing women's health.
