| description | Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a highly prevalent problem of
public health, which is characterized by intermittent and repetitive narrowing
of the airway while sleeping. Approximately half of the patients with OSAS
therapy fail to comply with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
because of mask-related problems, treatment-related side effects, patient
attitude, or perceived lack of benefit. The aim of the surgical therapies for
the treatment of OSAS is to improve airway patency by operating on selected
sites of obstruction. Different surgical modalities have been developed, since
different anatomical locations may be responsible for a narrow upper airway.
Consequently, the surgical approach needs to be individualized for each
patient. Surgical treatment of OSAS presents variable efficacy but is capable
of improving mortality and morbidity rates in selected patients. However, the
surgery for OSAS is not a substitute for CPAP but is a salvage treatment option
for patients who have failed CPAP and other conservative treatments, or had
significant side effects of device use, or have a favorable anatomy such as
tonsillar hypertrophy. |
