Abstract
The purpose of this review is to describe the role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Numerous studies have examined the best techniques and efficacy of TORS for OSA as a component of multi-level surgery for OSA. The role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) emerged in 2008 as a novel approach for the treatment of retroglossal and supraglottic obstruction. This technique provides an alternative surgical approach for patients with obstruction in these areas. Success rates with TORS are modestly improved over alternative approaches to the tongue base and offer an added advantage of addressing neighboring regions of the airway including access to the supraglottis.
