- Abstract
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic disease that requires long-term, continuous treatment. Considering the prevalence of sleep apnea and serious health-related sequelae, various medical and surgical treatments have been developed to achieve various therapeutic goals according to individual anatomy and patient compliance. Although CPAP treatment should be the preferred treatment, many patients cannot continue this treatment and alternative treatment is needed. Surgical treatment should be aimed at resolving the obstruction of the nose, palatal, retrolingual, and hypopharynx, or should be performed in the direction of increasing adherence to positive pressure therapy. In this review, the author will introduce various surgical approaches currently used when non-surgical treatment for sleep apnea did not yield positive results, and present research on the treatment results.
