About
Dr. Po‑Lan Su is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the optimization of postoperative recovery. Her most-cited study, published in 2022, investigates the efficacy of combining transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with oropharyngeal rehabilitation for patients with moderate to severe OSA. This quasi-experimental trial demonstrated that the integrated approach significantly reduces apnea severity, offering a promising pathway for patients who are intolerant to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. With six citations already, the paper has quickly drawn attention from otolaryngologists and sleep medicine specialists seeking evidence-based, minimally invasive alternatives. Dr. Su’s contribution lies in bridging surgical innovation with structured rehabilitation, addressing a critical gap in long-term OSA management. Her work not only advances surgical technique but also emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care in improving patient outcomes. For students and researchers, Dr. Su exemplifies how targeted clinical research can translate into tangible, life-changing treatments for a disorder affecting millions worldwide.
