Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) involves recurrent upper airway collapse during sleep, associated with snoring, daytime sleepiness and cardiometabolic risks. Prof. Dr. Altan VAROL evaluates surgical candidacy with polysomnography, endoscopic assessment and facial‑skeletal analysis.

In selected cases, maxillomandibular advancement enlarges the airway and reduces symptoms and AHI. Decisions are taken with pulmonology and ENT. Post‑op edema control, diet and graded activity support recovery.

Non‑surgical options (CPAP, oral appliances, weight management) are balanced against surgery to choose the best pathway. The aim is durable quality‑of‑life improvement beyond snoring reduction.
