Tae‐Bin Won

About

Dr. Tae-Bin Won is a leading otolaryngologist and sleep surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), particularly through innovative robotic approaches. His major contribution lies in demonstrating the clinical utility of robot-assisted tongue base resection for OSA patients with lingual tonsil hypertrophy—a challenging anatomical variant often resistant to conventional therapies. In his landmark 2019 study, Dr. Won showed that this minimally invasive technique ensures favorable therapeutic outcomes by precisely addressing tongue base narrowing, a critical site of upper airway collapse during sleep. With 11 citations, this work has helped establish a new standard for treating complex OSA cases, bridging the gap between robotic surgery and sleep medicine. Dr. Won’s research is notable for its translational impact, directly improving surgical precision and patient recovery. His achievements have positioned him as a key figure in advancing robotic otolaryngology, offering hope to patients with previously refractory sleep-disordered breathing. For students and researchers, his work exemplifies how cutting-edge technology can solve persistent clinical challenges.
