About
Konstantinos Chaidas is a leading surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of otolaryngology, sleep medicine, and minimally invasive surgery. His primary research focuses on obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), particularly in patients intolerant to conventional treatments like CPAP. Chaidas has made pivotal contributions to the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), demonstrating its efficacy for tongue base reduction and epiglottic collapse—a critical but often overlooked cause of airway obstruction. His seminal 2015 study on TORS outcomes for OSA (50 citations) established a benchmark for robotic intervention in sleep surgery. Beyond sleep, Chaidas has advanced endocrine surgery; his prospective comparison of robotic versus open parathyroidectomy (47 citations) provided rigorous evidence supporting robotic approaches for primary hyperparathyroidism. His recent systematic reviews on epiglottic collapse (2022) and TORS practices (2024) continue to shape clinical guidelines. With over 100 combined citations across his most-cited works, Chaidas is recognized for bridging surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, offering new hope for CPAP-intolerant patients and refining parathyroid surgery standards.
