Snoring and Sleep Apnea Surgery

Op. Dr. Hüseyin Arslan

Snoring is not just a social nuisance but also a serious health issue. Sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Treatment Methods

Surgery is planned according to the pathology obstructing the airway: - **Nasal Surgery:** Septoplasty, turbinate reduction. - **Soft Palate Surgery:** Tightening sagging soft palate (UPPP), shortening the uvula. - **Tongue Base Surgery:** Procedures to prevent the tongue from collapsing backward.

CPAP (mask) therapy is recommended for patients unsuitable for surgery.
