Sleep Apnea Surgery: When Nothing Else Works
Sleep apnea surgery is the treatment of last resort for people with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or sleep disorders who have not found relief from other sleep apnea treatments. When it comes to surgery for sleep apnea, information is key.
In OSA, the airways become obstructed and cause the person to skip breaths and gasp for air. If methods such as lifestyle changes, CPAP machines, and oral appliance therapy are not successful in treating sleep apnea, then sleep apnea physicians may recommend sleep apnea surgery.
There are many parts of the airway (the breathing tubes) that can be obstructed. For sleep apnea surgery to be successful, the sleep apnea dentist or sleep apnea physician must identify and treat all areas with obstructions. For some patients, this may require more than one surgical procedure.
Here is an overview of the different types of sleep apnea surgery:
Maxillomandibular Advancement: This is a type of orthognathic surgery that moves the jaw forward (the same principle behind sleep apnea oral appliance therapy). Also known as bimaxillary advancement (Bi-Max) or maxillomandibular osteotomy (MMO), it's often accompanied by tongue surgery.
Tracheotomy: This is a procedure in which a sleep apnea surgeon creates a new "breathing hole" in the throat. Patients breathe and speak normally during the day, but at night they breathe through the tracheotomy tube in their windpipe. It's a dramatic procedure, but one that's certain to provide relief.
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty: Known as a UPPP or UP3, this is a procedure in which soft tissue is surgically removed from the back of the mouth and throat. The tonsils and uvula are removed, leaving the patient with a "bigger" throat that makes breathing easier. Laser-assisted UP (LAUP) uses a laser to provide similar results. Unfortunately, these procedures are not always successful.
Tongue Reduction: Reducing the size of the tongue can leave more space in the throat and airway. This may be a surgical glossectomy or somnoplasty.
Tongue Advancement: Surgery that pulls the tongue and its muscles toward the front of the mouth. Known as genioglossus and hyoid advancement (GGA), this procedure leaves more space for breathing in the back of the mouth and throat. It is most often done in conjunction with other treatment or surgery.
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy: This surgery removes the tonsils and adenoids, making more space in the throat for breathing. It is especially useful in treating children's sleep apnea.

CPAP: Sleep Apnea Treatment To Help You Sleep Better
CPAP therapy is the number one sleep apnea treatment. CPAP machines give continuous positive air pressure throughout the night, which you simply inhale through a sleep mask. You'll sleep better, snore less, and be more rested the next day.
The CPAP machine is not large - about the size of a shoe box. CPAP masks come in different varieties, but most people choose a CPAP mask that covers just the nose and leaves the mouth uncovered.
CPAP machines are regulated by the FDA and require a doctor's prescription. (The same is true for other breathing machines, like VPAP or APAP.) A doctor's supervision is an essential part of getting the most out of CPAP sleep apnea treatment.
Some CPAP machines keep records of a patient's nightly breathing. By examining this information, your sleep doctor or dentist can learn more about your sleep patterns - without you coming into a sleep center for overnight monitoring.
When it comes to moderate to severe sleep apnea, CPAP is the treatment that is most often effective. There are many brands and models of CPAP machines out there; it's all a matter of finding the one that will work best for you.
