About

Heng‐Jui Hsu is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His key research areas include intraoperative imaging guidance, tongue base reduction techniques, and the optimization of robotic surgical outcomes for sleep-disordered breathing. Hsu’s major contribution lies in pioneering the use of intraoperative ultrasound (IOU) to enhance the precision and safety of TORS for tongue base reduction—a procedure critical for patients with OSA. In his most-cited paper, "Quantification of the Impact of Intraoperative Ultrasound in Transoral Robotic Tongue Base Reduction" (2021), he demonstrated that IOU can guide surgeons in real-time, potentially improving apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) reductions and patient recovery. While his citation count is still growing, this work has already garnered attention for its innovative integration of imaging and robotics. Hsu’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering a tangible path to reducing surgical variability and enhancing outcomes for OSA patients. His achievements signal a promising trajectory in minimally invasive sleep surgery, making him a rising voice in the field.
