About
Ming‐Shao Tsai is a leading otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and head and neck cancers. His work centers on robotic-assisted surgery, particularly the use of the da Vinci system for tongue base resection in OSA patients. Tsai’s major contributions include a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robot-assisted versus conventional neck dissection, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches in reducing complications. His 2025 study on single-port TORS (Transoral Robotic Surgery) for OSA is especially notable, as it evaluates perioperative hemorrhage risks and patient outcomes—a critical safety concern that may influence broader adoption of this technology. With over 4 citations each for his key papers, Tsai’s research is already shaping clinical guidelines. His work is particularly valuable for surgeons and researchers seeking to optimize robotic surgical protocols, balancing innovation with patient safety. By addressing both technical feasibility and real-world outcomes, Tsai is helping to define the future of robotic surgery in otolaryngology.
