About
Anthousa Kythreotou is a clinician-researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), particularly in complex patient populations. Her key research areas include transoral robotic surgery (TORS), multilevel airway management, and outcomes in obese patients with severe OSA who have failed conventional therapies. Her most-cited study, published in 2017, investigates the safety and efficacy of TORS as a multilevel treatment for non-morbidly obese OSA patients after unsuccessful standard interventions. With 18 citations, this work is notable for its pragmatic clinical perspective: while the reported 50% success rate may appear modest, Kythreotou compellingly argues that for patients facing life-threatening disease with no alternative short of tracheostomy, TORS represents a critical, organ-preserving option. This contribution has helped reshape clinical decision-making for a challenging, high-risk cohort. Her research underscores a commitment to expanding surgical frontiers for patients with limited options, bridging the gap between aggressive intervention and quality of life. Kythreotou’s work continues to influence otolaryngology and sleep surgery, offering evidence-based hope for those at the margins of conventional care.
