Hyoid Suspension / Airlift

DISE

Hyoid Suspension / Airlift

This procedure is performed for patients who have a tongue obstruction causing OSA. A small neck bone (hyoid bone) to which the tongue is attached is advanced forward and suspended to the front of the lower jaw. The hyoid suspension expands and stabilizes the airway during sleep making obstruction less likely to occur. This procedure can be an alternative for patients who are not interested in Inspire. 

The procedure is performed in less than 30 minutes in an outpatient setting. Patients will have a small scar below the chin. Research shows that apnea can be reduced by up to 75% of cases.

The hyoid bone is brought closer to the front of the lower jaw, which enlarges the airway when sleeping.

WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

Such a good Dr. He finds the problem and gives details on correcting the problem and suggests the routine to get rid of the problem. He will not recommend a surgeon if you don’t need it.

Call the best.  He tweaked my vocal cords and my voice is now exactly where I want it.

Dr. Mark is the best.

He is very compassionate, caring, and thorough.

Very knowledgeable, very professional, and always asked if I had any questions. Willing to go the extra mile. I have been seeing him for 7 years and I would recommend him to anyone who needed an ENT.

Excellent Doctor

My doctor is very compassionate to all his patients. I witness this every time I come. I hear how he talks to his staff and interns. A Great mentor. I look for these things in knowing whose hands my care is in. Dr. Mark Shows empathy and he LISTENS, whereas some don't take the time to understand let alone touch the abnormal lumps and nodules, they rush you out to get a pay check. I look for these things. Dr. Mark is excellent in his profession and very knowledgeable in his practice. I trust his medical decisions, and plan of care for treatments. Thank you Dr. Mark Weidenbecher
