About

Dr. Lucrezia Giorgi is a leading otolaryngologist and sleep surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), with a particular emphasis on transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her major contributions center on refining patient selection criteria for TORS as part of multilevel surgery, demonstrating that careful preoperative evaluation is critical to optimizing outcomes in OSA patients. Her most-cited work, "TORS as Part of Multilevel Surgery in OSA: The Importance of Careful Patient Selection and Outcomes" (2022, 20 citations), synthesizes her personal surgical experience to provide practical guidance for clinicians navigating this relatively young technique. Beyond this seminal paper, Dr. Giorgi has published extensively on robotic-assisted approaches to tongue base reduction and pharyngeal surgery, contributing to the growing evidence base that TORS can be a safe and effective option for appropriately selected patients with moderate-to-severe OSA. Her work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and clinical reality, helping to establish standardized protocols that improve patient outcomes while minimizing complications. Dr. Giorgi’s research is essential reading for surgeons and sleep medicine specialists seeking to integrate robotic surgery into comprehensive OSA management.
