About

Dr. Chi Sang Hwang is a pioneering head and neck surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive robotic and coblation techniques for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and salivary gland disorders. His major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility of robot-assisted submandibular gland resection via a retroauricular approach, a technique that reduces visible scarring and improves recovery (43 citations). He also led a landmark comparison of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) versus coblation tongue base resection for OSA, providing critical evidence on efficacy and safety (30 citations). Hwang’s preclinical work on gasless transaxillary robot-assisted neck dissection established a foundation for scarless access to cervical lymph nodes, expanding the boundaries of robotic surgery (21 citations). Additionally, his research on predictors of success in combined tongue base resection and lateral pharyngoplasty offers practical guidance for optimizing OSA outcomes (12 citations). Through these innovations, Hwang has advanced the field of robotic head and neck surgery, earning recognition for merging technical precision with patient-centered outcomes.
