Abstract

The expected clinical outcomes for patients undergoing TORS for obstructive sleep apnea are divided into two main areas: Safety of the procedure, which include the short-term and long-term complications, and efficacy of the procedure. This chapter will examine the expected outcomes for both the safety and efficacy of TORS in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
