Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea

This book explores the evolution in the diagnosis and treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA). To clarify the drawbacks of traditional treatments for OSA. To unveil the advantages in state-of-the-art annotation for diagnosis (cardiopulmonary couping, ultrasound, interventional DISE) and treatment (i-NAP) of OSA. To reveal the clinical application and outcomes of integrated conservative treatment (mouth taping, lateral sleep pillow, myofunctional therapy, GLP1-weight reduction). To demonstrate novel surgical techniques (relocation pharyngoplasty, suspension palatoplasty, palatal hybrid surgery, Coblation endoscopic lingual lightening CELL, Coblation ablationtongue CAT, transoral tongue suspension TOTS) for outcome improvement in OSA patients. To show multi-disciplinary combined surgery (combined airway and bariatric surgery CABS) for OSA patients with morbid obesity. To expand the treatment indication in OSA patients in children (behavior, growth) and elderly (Alzheimers disease. nocturia) for preventive medicine and holistic care.

The book provides cutting-edge technology for diagnosis and treatment of OSA. Through robust evidence, this book aims to clear up doubts in concept and technique for OSA treatment. By diverse positive treatment outcomes, this book expands the purpose for OSA therapy from anti-snoring to preventive medicine and holistic care.

Highlights non-invasive treatment for OSA Expands the purpose for OSA therapy from anti-snoring to preventive medicine Introduces combined multi-disciplinary surgery for OSA
