About

Ashik Amlani is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of otolaryngology and sleep medicine, with a particular focus on surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). His most cited paper, "Outcome of TORS to tongue base and epiglottis in patients with OSA intolerant of conventional treatment" (2015, 50 citations), represents a significant contribution to the field. In this work, Amlani and his colleagues investigated the efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) targeting the tongue base and epiglottis in patients who could not tolerate standard therapies like continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The study provided critical evidence that robotic-assisted surgery can offer a viable, minimally invasive alternative for this challenging patient population, improving airway obstruction and quality of life. This research has been influential in shaping clinical guidelines and expanding treatment options for OSA, particularly for those with multilevel obstruction. Amlani’s work underscores the potential of precision surgery to address refractory sleep-disordered breathing, and his findings continue to inform both clinical practice and future research in sleep surgery.
