About
Ying Hao is a prominent otolaryngologist and sleep surgeon whose research centers on minimally invasive surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Her major contributions lie in advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for tongue base reduction, a technique she has systematically reviewed and refined to improve outcomes for adult patients with sleep-disordered breathing. In her seminal 2016 review, "State of the art transoral robotic surgery for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome," Hao synthesized evidence from PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus, establishing TORS as a viable, less invasive alternative to traditional procedures. This work, cited 10 times, has guided surgeons in selecting candidates and optimizing surgical protocols. Beyond this, Hao's research explores the intersection of robotic precision and airway anatomy, aiming to reduce complications and enhance quality of life. Her contributions have been recognized in clinical guidelines and surgical training programs, making her a key figure in the evolution of sleep apnea surgery. For students and researchers, Hao’s work exemplifies how rigorous literature reviews can translate into practical, patient-centered innovations in otolaryngology.
