Surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

S E Thawley.   

Abstract

In selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea, the uvulopalatopharyngoplasty procedure may be performed to remove excessive tissue in the oropharyngeal airway. This may improve the symptoms of sleep apnea as well as snoring. Tracheostomy may be indicated in patients with obstructive sleep apnea with associated severe medical problems.
