About
Dr. James Cheng-Chung Wei is a leading otolaryngologist and sleep surgeon whose research centers on the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and its impact on voice and airway function. His major contributions include pioneering work on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for OSAS, particularly examining how tongue base resection combined with uvulopharyngopalatoplasty alters the pharyngeal resonance chamber and affects vocal quality. His 2021 study, "Voice Assessment in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome After Transoral Robotic Surgery," has garnered 5 citations, providing critical insights into the functional outcomes of robotic sleep surgery. Dr. Wei’s research bridges the gap between sleep medicine and laryngology, offering evidence that helps surgeons optimize both airway patency and voice preservation. His work is notable for its clinical relevance, directly informing preoperative counseling and postoperative care for patients undergoing TORS. By systematically evaluating voice changes, Dr. Wei has advanced a more holistic approach to sleep surgery, ensuring that treatment success is measured not only by apnea-hypopnea index reduction but also by quality-of-life factors like speech. His contributions continue to shape best practices in robotic-assisted sleep surgery.
