About

Dr. Hsin-Ching Lin is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), with a particular focus on Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS). Her major contributions have reshaped the treatment landscape for severe OSA, demonstrating that robotic-assisted surgery can effectively reduce airway collapse and improve patient outcomes. Notably, her 2020 study on "Transoral robotic OSA surgery" (19 citations) established a foundational protocol for this minimally invasive approach. Dr. Lin’s research extends beyond respiratory health; she has investigated the systemic effects of OSA surgery, showing that TORS can significantly lower serum homocysteine levels—a key cardiovascular risk factor—in severe OSA patients (2023, 9 citations). Furthermore, her collaborative work (2022, 4 citations) revealed that TORS-OSA surgery alleviates lower urinary tract symptoms, overactive bladder, and nocturia in male patients, highlighting the interconnectedness of sleep disorders and urological health. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating surgical innovation into holistic patient benefits, Dr. Lin is a leading voice in sleep surgery, bridging robotic precision with systemic health improvements.
