Simple operations of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea

Nose surgeries

-Septoplasty: This is the removal of deviated cartilaginous and bony portions of the nasal septum

-Inferior turbinoplasty: Surgical reduction of the inferior turbinates

-RF turbinoplasy: Volumetric reduction of the inferior turbinates with RF energy (high-frequency electric current)

Soft palate surgeries

-Anterior palatoplasty: Stripping rectangular mucosa on the anterior palatal surface and suturing with a resorbable material. This stiffens the soft palate.

-Lateral sphincter pharyngoplasty:  Incision of the posterior pillar of the tonsils and attaching them to the arching fibers of the soft palate. This widens the pharynx laterally.

-RF of the soft palate: Stiffening the soft palate by using RF energy

Pharynx surgeries

-Tonsillectomy: Elevation of hypertrophied and obstructed tonsils

-RF tonsillotomy: Volumetric reduction of the tonsils by using RF. (high-frequency electric current )

The decision of the ideal technique to cure obstructive sleep apnea and snoring is carried out by the surgeon.
