About

Dr. Nibal Awad is a pioneering surgeon whose work has advanced the field of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, particularly in pelvic floor reconstruction. Her research focuses on comparing surgical techniques and optimizing perioperative care for procedures like sacrocolpopexy, which treats pelvic organ prolapse. In a landmark 2012 study, Dr. Awad evaluated the implementation of robotic versus laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, demonstrating the feasibility and potential benefits of robotic assistance—a contribution that has garnered 49 citations and influenced surgical practice. She further explored anesthetic strategies in a 2013 randomized controlled trial, comparing combined spinal and general anesthesia to general anesthesia alone for robotic sacrocervicopexy, a study cited 19 times for its insights into improving patient outcomes and recovery. Through these works, Dr. Awad has not only refined surgical protocols but also highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration between surgeons and anesthesiologists. Her research continues to shape evidence-based approaches to complex pelvic surgeries, offering clearer guidance for clinicians and better experiences for patients.
