Abstract:
This report is a case series of 5 patients who underwent implantation of a hypoglossal nerve stimulator for obstructive sleep apnea via a left-sided, 2-incision technique. This method represents a significant modification of the original right-sided, 3-incision technique. All 5 patients were successfully implanted with this technique variant with no adverse events or negative impact on device functionality, such as cardiac artifact.
