Obstructive Sleep Apnea Surgery

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) surgery is a medical procedure aimed at treating sleep apnea, a condition where the throat muscles relax excessively during sleep, blocking the airway and disrupting breathing. Surgery may involve removing excess tissue from the throat, repositioning the jaw, or other methods to keep the airway open. It's usually considered when other treatments, like weight loss or CPAP devices, haven't worked. The goal is to enhance breathing during sleep, improve sleep quality, and reduce related health risks, such as heart problems and daytime fatigue. Always consult a healthcare professional for a personalized assessment.
