Pediatric Sleep Apnea Surgery

Pediatric sleep apnea surgery is a procedure aimed at treating obstructive sleep apnea in children. This condition disrupts breathing during sleep due to blocked airways, often caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids. In pediatric otolaryngology, surgeons might remove these tonsils and adenoids to clear the airway, allowing for better breathing and improved sleep. This surgery can help resolve issues like snoring, difficulty concentrating, and behavioral problems linked to poor sleep. Overall, it seeks to enhance a child's quality of sleep and overall health.
