Sleep Apnea Surgery
Sleep apnea surgery is an option for people with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy or other treatments. Surgery aims to remove or reduce blockages in the airway, allowing for better breathing during sleep. It is often considered when other treatments have failed or are not suitable.
There are several types of sleep apnea surgeries, each targeting different areas of the airway. The right surgery depends on the cause and severity of your sleep apnea. At Somnium Sleep, we help you explore sleep apnea surgery options surgical options and determine if surgery is the best choice for your condition.

Who Is a Candidate for Sleep Apnea Surgery?
Sleep apnea surgery is typically recommended for people with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot use CPAP or other treatments. Candidates often have specific anatomical issues, such as enlarged tonsils, a deviated septum, or a small jaw, that contribute to airway blockage. A thorough evaluation by a sleep specialist is necessary to determine if surgery to fix sleep apnea is the right choice for you.
