Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and upper airway stimulation (UAS) are modalities for treating tongue base obstruction contributing to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aim to compare patients with OSA undergoing TORS to those undergoing UAS. We retrospectively reviewed patients treated with TORS a...
