About

Hong Juan Han is a pioneering surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of otolaryngology, sleep medicine, and robotic surgery. Her primary research focuses on minimally invasive surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and complex nasopharyngeal pathologies. Dr. Han’s most cited paper, “State of the art transoral robotic surgery for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome” (2016, 10 citations), provides a landmark review of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for tongue base reduction, establishing a critical evidence base for robotic-assisted management of adult OSAHS. She also contributed the early technical report “Robotic nasopharyngectomy” (2014, 2 citations), which helped define the feasibility and approach for robotic resection in the nasopharynx. While her citation counts reflect a focused, emerging field, Dr. Han’s work is notable for translating advanced robotic platforms into practical, patient-centered solutions for airway obstruction and tumor resection. Her research has directly influenced surgical protocols and training, positioning her as a key figure in the evolution of robotic head and neck surgery. For students and clinicians, Dr. Han exemplifies how rigorous literature synthesis and technical innovation can reshape treatment paradigms for challenging sleep and oncologic disorders.
