Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Single arm
Subjects will undergo TORS benign base of tongue resection procedures (i.e., partial glossectomy, epiglottoplasty, epiglottectomy, and/or lingual tonsillectomy) for the treatment of OSA
Transoral Robotic Surgery
Subjects will undergo TORS benign base of tongue resection procedures (i.e., partial glossectomy, epiglottoplasty, epiglottectomy, and/or lingual tonsillectomy) for the treatment of OSA. Concomitant non-robotic surgical procedures may also be performed as part of the subject's treatment for OSA, and can include one or more of the following: uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), lateral pharyngoplasty, expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty, palatine tonsillectomy, or a modified uvulopalatoplasty. Nasal surgery such as septoplasty or turbinoplasty can be combined if it is needed.
