- Abstract
- Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by obstructive events of the upper airway (UAW) during sleep, which can be associated with clinical signs and symptoms such as snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired memory, and fatigue. It is associated with many problems like psychosocial problems, physiologic alterations in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems as a result of hypoxia and repeated awakenings during sleep. Conservative treatments such as weight loss, sleep positioning, improvement of sleep hygiene, CPAP and MAD can be performed for the obstructive sleep apnea. However, their effect for the OSA is limited and differs by patient's individual properties. Accordingly, surgical reconstructions of the upper airway must be carried out for the treatment of OSA.
