About
Angelo Eplite is a leading researcher in the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a disorder characterized by recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep. His work focuses on advancing multi-level 3D surgery as a transformative alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, particularly for patients who struggle with adherence. Eplite’s most-cited study, published in 2022, directly compares quality of life and excessive daytime sleepiness outcomes in adults treated with multilevel surgery versus those adherent to CPAP, providing critical evidence that surgical intervention can offer comparable or superior benefits for select patients. His 2023 paper, “Multi-Level 3D Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Could It Be the Future?” further explores the potential of this innovative technique to address the multi-segmental nature of airway collapse, challenging the traditional reliance on CPAP as the gold standard. With citations reflecting growing interest in his work, Eplite is shaping the future of OSA treatment by demonstrating that surgery can be a viable, patient-centered solution, reducing long-term dependence on mechanical ventilation and improving overall quality of life. His contributions are pivotal for clinicians and researchers seeking durable, effective alternatives in sleep medicine.
