Surgeries for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)

This is a surgical procedure that enlarges and reshapes the upper airway at the level of the soft palate and throat muscles. This surgical approach targets areas of the throat that are prone to collapse during sleep, contributing to breathing difficulties. It involves various techniques to widen the airway, which can include modifications to the soft palate, tongue base, or other structures that obstruct airflow. Airflow dynamics during sleep is thus improved reducing the severity of OSA symptoms such as snoring and pauses in breathing.
