About
Dr. Fabio Facchini is a leading figure in the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with a focused expertise in multi-level, three-dimensional approaches to airway reconstruction. His most cited work, "Multi-Level 3D Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Could It Be the Future?" (2023), articulates a paradigm shift in treating this complex disorder. Rather than addressing single sites of collapse, Dr. Facchini champions a comprehensive surgical strategy that targets the entire upper airway—from the nasal passages to the hypopharynx—recognizing that OSA is rarely a unilevel problem. His contributions are particularly significant in demonstrating that nocturnal airway collapse is often multi-level, requiring a tailored, volumetric correction to restore patency. While his citation count is still growing, reflecting the recent publication of his landmark paper, his work is already influencing clinical protocols and sparking debate among sleep surgeons. Dr. Facchini’s research is paving the way for more effective, durable solutions for patients who fail or cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), positioning him as an innovator in the future of sleep apnea surgery.
