Surgical Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Epiglottic Surgery

Introduction and objective: Among the possible causes of OSA, although rare, are alterations of the epiglottis. The objective of this work is to highlight its importance and insist on its active diagnosis, since in well-selected cases it can be treated surgically. Synthesis: The importance of the ep...

Its involvement in OSA is likely not to be revealed during awake examination and DISE maybe required to appreciate how it collapses during inspiration in the sleeping patient.
