About
Dr. Sven Saussez is a leading otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for upper airway disorders. His major contributions center on transoral robotic surgery (TORS), particularly for treating supraglottic laryngeal cancers and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In his highly cited 2020 systematic review (52 citations), Dr. Saussez demonstrated that TORS for supraglottic cancers offers favorable oncologic and functional outcomes, establishing it as a viable alternative to traditional open surgery. His 2021 meta-analysis (38 citations) further solidified TORS’s role in sleep surgery, showing that robotic-assisted base of tongue reduction significantly improves apnea-hypopnea index scores and quality of life in OSAS patients, with acceptable complication rates. Through rigorous systematic reviews and meta-analyses, Dr. Saussez has provided the evidence base that helps surgeons worldwide adopt these robotic approaches, ultimately reducing patient morbidity. His work bridges surgical innovation with clinical practicality, making him a pivotal figure in modern head and neck surgery and sleep medicine.
