Abstract

This is the first study looking at the use of TORS to address obstruction at the level of BOT only, not confounded by surgical alterations at other levels of upper airway. This preliminary result on the use of BOT resection via TORS for the treatment of patients with OSAHS is encouraging and warrants further investigations.
