About
Christina Cambi is a sleep surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of otolaryngology and maxillofacial surgery, focusing on innovative, minimally invasive treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Her key research areas include transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for tongue base reduction and supraglottoplasty, as well as combined maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) procedures. In her most cited work, a 2019 preliminary report, Cambi pioneered a novel surgical protocol that integrates TORS with MMA for selected OSA patients, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional multilevel surgeries. This contribution is notable for expanding the surgical armamentarium against severe sleep apnea, particularly for patients who fail continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Though her citation count is modest—with her top-cited paper accruing 9 citations—her work represents a targeted, early-stage innovation that has drawn attention from surgical sleep specialists. Cambi’s research underscores a shift toward personalized, robotic-assisted approaches, and her preliminary findings have laid groundwork for larger prospective trials. For students and clinicians, her work exemplifies how combining emerging technologies with established skeletal procedures can open new therapeutic doors in sleep medicine.
