Sleep Apnea Surgery

Sleep Apnea Surgery

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and restarts during rest. Sleep apnea often leaves patients exhausted during the day, and if unaddressed, it can raise the risk of serious health complications, like diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attack.

There are several causes of sleep apnea, the most common of which occurs when the upper airway is blocked or narrowed. This is called obstructive sleep apnea and can be treated with CPAP therapy, as well as various lifestyle changes. However, in some cases, sleep apnea surgery may be necessary.

Surgical sleep apnea treatment encompasses several different procedures that aim to open the obstructed airway. The right surgery for your situation will depend on the cause of your sleep apnea. For example, surgery might be used to correct the position of your jaw or to remove tissue from the back of your throat. Either way, after your sleep apnea treatment, you can look forward to increased energy during the day and more restful sleep during the night.
