About
Francesco Stomeo is a leading otorhinolaryngologist whose research centers on the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and complex disorders of the upper airway. His most impactful work explores the use of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for tongue reduction and lingual tonsil resection in OSA patients, with his 2018 study on how lingual anatomy influences surgical outcomes accumulating 23 citations. Stomeo’s investigation into lingual tonsil lymphatic tissue regrowth after TORS—cited 11 times—provided critical insights into the durability of robotic surgery outcomes. More recently, he has advanced pediatric sleep medicine through a 2024 review linking laryngomalacia to OSA in children, and expanded the applications of TORS to treat Eagle’s syndrome, a rare condition involving elongated styloid processes. His work is distinguished by its integration of robotic precision with anatomical understanding, offering safer, more effective surgical alternatives for patients with complex airway obstructions. Stomeo’s contributions have not only refined surgical techniques but also deepened the field’s understanding of postoperative tissue behavior and pediatric airway pathology, making him a pivotal figure in modern otolaryngology.
