About

Dr. Song Tar Toh is a leading otolaryngologist whose research focuses on advancing surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), particularly through the integration of robotic technology. His major contributions include pioneering work in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for tongue base reduction in OSA, building on the first reported use of the da Vinci robotic system in 2010. Dr. Toh’s international survey on sleep medicine in otolaryngology units, with 9 citations, highlights his role in shaping global clinical practices and standards. His 2017 paper on robotic OSA surgery, cited 6 times, remains a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic approaches, detailing techniques that improve outcomes for patients with complex airway obstruction. Additionally, his 2022 study on practicing TORS in a middle-income country, though early in citation impact, underscores his commitment to addressing surgical challenges and expanding access to advanced care in resource-limited settings. Dr. Toh’s work bridges innovation and practicality, making him a key figure in the evolution of sleep surgery and robotic otolaryngology.
