About
Dr. Doo Hee Han is a leading otolaryngologist and sleep surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted approaches to upper airway obstruction. His most cited work, a 2019 study on robot-assisted tongue base resection, demonstrated that this minimally invasive technique provides favorable therapeutic outcomes for OSA patients with lingual tonsil hypertrophy—a challenging patient population often refractory to conventional treatments. By showing that robotic technology can safely and effectively address tongue base narrowing, a critical site of airway collapse during sleep, Dr. Han has helped pioneer a paradigm shift toward precision, robot-assisted sleep surgery. His work, which has accumulated 11 citations, has been instrumental in expanding surgical options for patients with complex, multilevel airway obstruction. Dr. Han’s contributions bridge the gap between advanced surgical robotics and sleep medicine, offering new hope for patients who have failed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. His research continues to shape clinical guidelines and inspire further innovation in the field of sleep surgery.
