About
Dr. S. De Santis is a leading otolaryngologist whose research focuses on advancing surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), particularly through innovative multilevel approaches. Her major contribution lies in demonstrating the efficacy of combining transoral robotic surgery, expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty, and septoplasty in a single-stage procedure, addressing the reality that many OSAS patients have multiple obstructive sites simultaneously. This work, published in 2019 and garnering 12 citations, highlights her commitment to improving surgical outcomes by targeting the oropharynx, hypopharynx, and larynx in one operation. By pioneering these integrated techniques, Dr. De Santis has helped expand the acceptance of multilevel surgery among ENT surgeons and patients alike, offering a more comprehensive solution for complex sleep apnea cases. Her research underscores a patient-centered approach, aiming to reduce the need for multiple interventions and enhance recovery. With a growing citation footprint, Dr. De Santis continues to shape the field of sleep surgery, making her a notable figure for students and researchers interested in innovative, multidisciplinary surgical strategies for OSAS.
