Upper airway surgery for obstructive sleep apnea.
Upper airway surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) attempt to modify dysfunctional pharyngeal anatomy or by-pass the pharynx. Modifications of the pharynx diminish the bulk of soft tissue structures which abut the air column, place them under tension, others alter their spatial inter-relationships. Surgical procedures are designed to modify the retropalatal pharynx, th...

متن کاملUpper Airway Evaluation in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an increasingly common disease with pathophysiology based on the interaction of multiple factors. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered as the treatment of choice for OSA syndrome, but poor patient acceptance and compliance remain problematic. Surgical procedures are developed to alter the offending anatomic abnormalities responsible for OSA. ...
متن کامل[Upper airway stimulation in obstructive sleep apnea].
The stimulation of the upper airway represents an effective treatment option in case of CPAP failure in patients with moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. The stimulation with respiratory sensing (Inspire Medical Systems) has shown a high level of evidence in larger cohorts and longer follow-up studies. Whether the results of the stimulation without respiratory sensing (ImThera Medical) ...
