Abstract:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is characterized by recurrent, complete or partial airway closure during sleep. It is a potentially hazardous condition and appropriate treatment should be strongly advised to all OSA patients. The primary mode of OSA management is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (C-Pap). Asignificant number of OSA patients can be also managed successfully with surgery by a variety of newer surgical techniques which emphasize a more physiologic and less morbid surgical approach to the upper airway.
