Surgical Treatment for
Snoring
Most people like to sleep next to their partner, but what if that person snores?
Not only can snoring be disruptive and have a negative impact on personal relationships, but evidence shows that snoring may potentially lead to increased health risks and sleepiness.
Snoring is the result of throat tissue vibrations. The first step in managing snoring is to rule out a more serious condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). To improve snoring, there are usually several treatment options available that focus on improving nasal breathing (e.g., correction of a deviated septum or removal of adenoids), improving airflow through the mouth (e.g., removal or capping of tonsils), or other surgical techniques to reduce tissue vibration (tightening/ stiffening of the soft palate).
