At Stanford Sleep Surgery, our pediatric and adult sleep surgeons work closely with our patients and the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center, offering background, experience, structure, state-of-the-art procedures, and most importantly, available facts about all treatments to help patients achieve better quality of life.
The Sleep Surgery division has been performing surgery to correct obstructed sleep for over 35 years and an active research program works to develop better ways to diagnose and treat obstructive sleep apnea.
Surgical treatments include:
Any surgery performed on the outside or inside of the nose; commonly used in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery.
Also known as Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), a form of facial skeletal surgery that advances the jaws to expand the airway; used in the treatment of sleep disorders.
A combination of surgical procedures to rearrange the pharyngeal wall and open the airway, decreasing the possibilities of collapse; used in the treatment of sleep apnea.
A surgical procedure to make the tongue firmer and less collapsible during sleep, or to remove tongue tissue to reduce its volume; often used in the treatment sleep apnea.
After years of poor sleep, Christian Roth’s wife encouraged him to seek help. After surgery for sleep apnea, he has more energy for activities with his family.
Obstructive sleep apnea affects 25% of men and 10% of women age 30-60. Dr. Clete Kushida discusses the importance of having this disorder diagnosed and treated.
