Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that can cause patients to snore and stop breathing while they are asleep. This can affect your quality of sleep, causing you to frequently wake up. This can lead to more severe health issues.
This surgery is helpful for those who are unable to wear a breathing device. Using radiofrequency, the surgeon will reduce or remove the tissue in the back of your throat. This leads to a clearer airway and can primarily help those who snore.

In this surgery, the turbinates (sets of tissue found inside the nose) are reduced. Reducing turbinates helps open up the airways, making it easier to breathe.
This surgery straightens out the septum, which is the mix of bone and cartilage that separates the nostrils. If the septum is bent or curved, it can affect your breathing. By straightening this out, patients can breathe and sleep easier.
There are other surgical procedures that can benefit those with sleep apnea. During your appointment, your doctor will discuss all of the available options and how they are performed.
Sleep apnea surgery is often required when other non-surgical methods have not worked well or cannot be used. Because surgery changes the physical makeup of your tissue and helps open the airways, there’s only a small chance of the results not providing some relief from sleep apnea. Texas ENT Specialist has a network of highly-trained professionals who will work to find the right surgery for you so that you can find lasting relief.
