About

Antonella Polimeni is a leading researcher in sleep medicine and otolaryngology, with a primary focus on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and advanced surgical interventions. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of treatment outcomes for OSA patients, particularly comparing the efficacy of multilevel surgery versus continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) adherence. In her highly cited 2022 study, she demonstrated how both approaches impact quality of life and excessive daytime sleepiness, providing critical evidence for personalized treatment strategies. Polimeni has also pioneered research on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for lingual tonsil resection, with her 2018 investigation into lymphatic tissue regrowth after TORS offering valuable insights into long-term surgical outcomes. Her contributions have garnered substantial attention, with her most-cited papers accumulating over 29 citations, reflecting their influence on clinical practice. Polimeni’s work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered care, making her a key figure in optimizing respiratory sleep disorder management. Her research continues to guide clinicians in selecting the most effective treatments for OSA, ultimately improving patient well-being and sleep health.
