Sleep Disorder Surgery

Sleep disorder surgery, often performed by ENT specialists, targets physical issues that disrupt normal sleep, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). These procedures may involve removing excess tissue from the throat, repositioning the jaw, or other modifications to improve airflow during sleep. The goal is to reduce snoring, enhance breathing, and promote restful sleep, ultimately improving the patient's overall health and quality of life. Surgery is typically considered when other treatments, like lifestyle changes or devices, have not been effective.
