Some sleep apnea patients succeed with non-surgical treatments such as a CPAP machine, but others require surgical intervention when nothing else has worked. At Texas ENT Specialists, we offer sleep apnea surgery to patients across the Houston area. 

Sleep Apnea Surgical Options

This surgery is helpful for those who are unable to wear a breathing device. Using radiofrequency, the surgeon will reduce or remove the tissue in the back of your throat. This leads to a clearer airway and can primarily help those who snore. 

Radiofrequency Volumetric Tissue Reduction

This surgery is helpful for those who are unable to wear a breathing device. Using radiofrequency, the surgeon will reduce or remove the tissue in the back of your throat. This leads to a more clear airway and can primarily help those who snore. 

Turbinate Reduction

In this surgery, the turbinates (sets of tissue found inside the nose) are reduced. Reducing turbinates helps open up the airways, making it easier to breathe. 

Septoplasty

This surgery straightens out the septum, which is the mix of bone and cartilage that separates the nostrils. If the septum is bent or curved, it can affect your breathing. By straightening this out, patients can breathe and sleep easier. 

There are other surgical procedures that can benefit those with sleep apnea. During your appointment, your doctor will discuss all of the available options and how they are performed.

Conditions Treated by Sleep Apnea Surgery

While the surgery has the primary goal of treating sleep apnea, these procedures can also help alleviate other conditions. This includes snoring and trouble breathing, both while awake and asleep. 

Benefits of Sleep Apnea Surgery

Sleep apnea surgery is often required when other non-surgical methods have not worked well or cannot be used. Because surgery changes the physical makeup of your tissue and helps open the airways, there’s only a small chance of the results not providing some relief from sleep apnea. Texas ENT Specialist has a network of highly-trained professionals who will work to find the right surgery for you so that you can find lasting relief.
