Advancements and Innovations in Sleep Surgery

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Upper airway surgery is an important component in the care of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Soft tissue, skeletal, and hypoglossal nerve stimulation surgery can be approached in a systematic surgical paradigm with an emphasis on precision in patient selection. The treatment paradigm is on a continuum with surgical and nonsurgical care, to maximize overall treatment efficacy that tailors to patients of different needs. Understanding of facial skeletal development patterns has contributed to procedures that address missed milestones during growth. Innovations and advances in intrapharyngeal (uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) and extrapharyngeal procedures (skeletal procedures and hypoglossal nerve stimulation) for OSA are highlighted in this chapter.
