Sleep Apnea Surgery - ENT East Division
There can be multiple reasons that a person develops sleep apnea. In patients who have problems breathing through their nose at night, septoplasty can help to improve sleep quality and decrease apneic events. Large tonsils and/or excessive soft palate tissue can also contribute, and a procedure called a Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) may help some people to help open the airway while sleeping.
