About
Tingting Zhan is a leading researcher in otolaryngology, with a focus on postoperative pain management and surgical interventions for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Her most cited work, "Postoperative opioid‐prescribing practices in otolaryngology: A multiphasic study" (2019, 48 citations), pioneers evidence-based guidelines for opioid use after head and neck surgeries, addressing a critical gap in pain management to reduce overprescription and addiction risks. This multiphasic study has shaped institutional protocols and sparked broader discussions on responsible opioid stewardship. Zhan also contributes to cost-effectiveness analyses in sleep surgery, as seen in her 2024 study comparing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) for OSA patients intolerant to CPAP. By evaluating both clinical outcomes and economic impacts, she provides crucial data for treatment decision-making. Her work bridges surgical innovation with public health concerns, offering practical solutions for safer, more efficient care. With a growing citation record and a focus on translating research into actionable guidelines, Zhan is a rising voice in otolaryngology, influencing both clinical practice and health policy.
