Ă propos de ce livre
Many sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD), especially obstructive sleep apnea, originate from upper airway abnormalities. The connection to cardio- and cerebrovascular comorbidities is significant and the impact on the general health of patients is noteworthy. In recent years, important advances have been made in the research, diagnosis, and treatment of SRBD due to a multidisciplinary approach. This volume incorporates contributions in which the efforts and expertise of more than thirty outstanding experts are shared. It provides a concise, practical, and comprehensive review of sleep medicine and will enable researchers and physicians to stay updated on the latest developments.

Abstract
Since the first report of the use of the da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) in transoral robotic tongue base reduction for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was published in 2010, this surgical tool and technique has been used worldwide for the resection of tongue base tissue in the multilevel surgical treatment of OSA. The combined knowledge of the published literature on its use has enlightened sleep surgeons worldwide on this new yet evolving surgical tool. Here we will discuss the use of the da Vinci robotic system in the treatment of OSA, the pertinent surgical anatomy for a safe surgical procedure, the primary and secondary outcomes to expect in the multilevel and primary use of this technology in treating the tongue base, the predictors for success or failure, and the complications associated with this technique. We will also compare this technology with other existing techniques for treating OSA and look to the future for other similar technologies in this application.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a multifactorial and complex disease associated with repeated upper airway collapse during sleep, resulting in oxygen desaturations, frequent arousals, and sleep fragmentation. Untreated OSA has been shown to have significant adverse effects on cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive functions, and contribute to poor quality of life and an increased risk of death [1â4].
Positive airway pressure (PAP) is the gold standard for treating OSA. However, PAP therapy is frequently limited by poor long-term compliance and adherence, and patients often do not want to use it [5, 6]. Surgical treatment can then be offered as an option.
Palatal surgery alone is ineffective in normalizing the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) [7, 8]. Considering that OSA is characterized by multilevel airway collapse, multilevel surgery yields better outcomes [9].
Studies using drug-induced sleep endoscopy in the preoperative assessment of the upper airway showed that the base of the tongue and supraglottic regions are key sites of obstruction in a significant proportion of patients [10, 11]. The aim of hypopharyngeal OSA surgery is to widen the retroglossal and hypopharyngeal airway space.
Over the years, many tongue base procedures have been reported, including volumetric tongue base reduction procedures using extensive transcervical approaches to the tongue base area, radiofrequency reduction, midline glossectomy, lingual plasty, and submucosal minimally invasive lingual excision (SMILE), as well as procedures that increase tension on the genioglossal and geniohyoid muscles (genial tubercle advancements and hyoid suspension). Unfortunately, consistency in the results was lacking and ârisk to lingual artery and hypoglossal nerve prevented more aggressive tongue reduction techniquesâ [12].
Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) was first described by OâMalley et al. [13] in 2006 to treat upper aerodigestive tract neoplasms. In 2010, Vicini et al. [14] published their preliminary report on TORS for volumetric reduction of the tongue base in their multilevel surgical management strategy for treating OSA. This pilot clinical and cadaveric anatomical study led to widespread use of this new application.
The da Vinci robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA), with the angled scope and EndoWristÂź technology, allowed the surgeon to work around the angled corner in the small oropharyngeal cavity while maintaining agility and visibility of the surgical area, thus allowing precise excision of the obstructing tongue tissue. Here, we will review the current indications and contraindications, surgical anatomy of the lingual vasculature, surgical setup and techniques, and results and complications using TORS for tongue base reduction in the multilevel surgical treatment strategy for treating OSA.

Assessment
Patients who have failed medical and PAP treatment for OSA with demonstrated tongue base obstruction during sleep endoscopy can be offered transoral robotic tongue base reduction. A stepwise approach (Fig. 1) starting with the patient history, clinical examination, sleep endoscopy, and counseling on options and results is required. The indications and contraindications for surgical treatment and TORS are listed in Table 1. Inadequate mouth opening and trismus is a contraindication for TORS.
Surgical Anatomy
Before conducting this surgical procedure, it is imperative to understand the anatomy of the lingual neurovascular bundle. The area of concern is the deep lingual artery, which is the terminal branch of the lingual artery. The average distance between the 2 deep lingual arteries in the substance of the tongue at the foramen caecum is 27.78 ± 6.57 mm, and the distance to the surface of the tongue is 29.27 ± 5.39 mm [15].

The safe area for resection between the 2 deep lingual arteries at the tongue base is about 31 mm wide with the tongue in a resting position [16]. However, these distances change as the tongue is protruded out of the oral cavity and with compression with the tongue retraction blade. With the tongue pulled out in the extended/protruded position, the depth of the deep lingual artery on the tongue dorsum becomes less and the interarterial distance is narrowed compared to the resting position at the foramen caecum and 1 cm before and 1 cm after the foramen caecum. The deep lingual artery is brought closer to the tongue surface at these 3 points (from about 28 to 24â25 mm) and closer together (from about 20 to 14 mm) at the foramen caecum [17]. The TORS robotic surgeon should bear in mind the changes in the anatomy of the 2 lingual arteries and changes in the safety margin during surgery for adequate resection.
The dorsal lingual branches arising from the main lingual artery supply the mucosal of the dorsum of the tongue. These vessels generally do not cause troublesome bleeding and can be easily hemostased with bipolar diathermy or suction diathermy.
Surgical Equipment and Setup
The robotic and general equipment needed is listed in Table 2. The configuration of the surgical bed, robotic cart, surgeonâs console, vision cart for the assisting surgeon to view the operation, and position of the assisting surgeon at the head of the table is shown in Figure 2. The da Vinci Robotic system is placed at about 30â45° to the long axis of the patientâs bed. The anesthetic machine and anesthetist is on the left of the patient and should not obstruct the view of the assisting surgeon. The final position with the robotic arm, camera, and gag in situ is shown in Figure 2.
