About
Dr. Tsung-Hsien Lee is a leading urological surgeon whose research bridges the critical intersection of sleep medicine and male reproductive health. His work focuses on how chronic conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) impact erectile dysfunction (ED) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in middle-aged men. Dr. Lee’s most notable contribution is his pioneering investigation into the therapeutic potential of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for OSA. In a key 2022 prospective study, he demonstrated that TORS not only alleviates airway obstruction but can also significantly improve both ED and LUTS, suggesting a reversible link between sleep-disordered breathing and urological dysfunction. This work has garnered early citations for its novel, interdisciplinary approach. By systematically evaluating urological outcomes following a surgical treatment for sleep apnea, Dr. Lee has opened a new avenue for managing these interconnected, quality-of-life-impacting conditions. His research is highly relevant for clinicians and researchers exploring how treating one chronic condition can yield unexpected benefits for another, highlighting the systemic nature of OSA.
