About

Resham Mawalkar is a clinical researcher whose work centers on the intersection of surgical recovery, musculoskeletal health, and patient-centered outcomes. Her most notable contribution, detailed in her 2024 study "Rectus Abdominis Muscle Atrophy and Asymmetry After Pulmonary Lobectomy," investigates the often-overlooked functional consequences of thoracic surgery. This work highlights how pulmonary lobectomy can lead to measurable atrophy and asymmetry in the rectus abdominis muscle, a finding with direct implications for postoperative rehabilitation and quality of life. By quantifying these changes, Mawalkar provides a critical foundation for developing targeted physiotherapy protocols to mitigate long-term disability. Though early in her career, her research has already garnered attention for its practical relevance, bridging the gap between surgical technique and patient recovery. Mawalkar’s work is particularly valuable for surgeons, physiotherapists, and researchers focused on optimizing recovery pathways after major thoracic procedures. Her ongoing efforts promise to deepen our understanding of how surgery impacts core musculature, ultimately improving outcomes for patients navigating the challenging post-lobectomy period.
