About
Dr. Ho-Sheng Lin is a leading otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). His primary contributions center on the development and refinement of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for base of tongue (BOT) resection, a minimally invasive technique that has transformed treatment for patients with OSA-hypopnea syndrome. In his seminal 2013 case series, Dr. Lin demonstrated the efficacy of TORS in reducing apnea-hypopnea index scores, establishing a new standard for surgical intervention. This work, which has garnered 90 citations, showcases his ability to translate robotic technology into practical, life-changing outcomes for patients suffering from sleep-disordered breathing. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Lin’s research portfolio encompasses head and neck oncology and advanced surgical techniques, reflecting his commitment to improving both functional and survival outcomes. His pioneering efforts have not only expanded the therapeutic arsenal against OSA but have also inspired a generation of surgeons to explore robotic-assisted approaches. With a career defined by innovation and clinical excellence, Dr. Lin remains a pivotal figure in the evolution of sleep surgery.
