Transoral robotic glossectomy for obstructive sleep apnea offers a safe and effective alternative to conventional approaches for the treatment of hypopharyngeal obstruction. The robotic approach enables increased operative visualization, allows for greater control of tissue removal, and facilitates more aggressive volume reduction at the base of tongue.
