About
Dr. Mahalakshmi Rangabashyam is a leading otolaryngologist whose research centers on advancing surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS), with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her seminal work, “State of the art transoral robotic surgery for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome” (2016), systematically reviewed the emerging role of TORS for tongue base reduction in adult OSAHS management. By synthesizing evidence from PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus, she established a foundational framework that has guided clinicians in adopting this minimally invasive approach, earning 10 citations and influencing subsequent surgical protocols. Dr. Rangabashyam’s contributions have helped refine patient selection criteria and surgical techniques, improving outcomes for those with refractory sleep apnea. Her dedication to bridging robotic innovation with clinical practice underscores her impact in sleep surgery, offering patients safer, more effective alternatives to traditional interventions. Through her rigorous reviews and ongoing research, she continues to shape the landscape of otolaryngology, empowering surgeons worldwide to embrace precision-driven therapies for complex airway disorders.
