摘要
In the surgical management of snoring and sleep apnea, surgery to the oropharynx was the initial procedure used to treat sleep-related disorders. This article reviews both the various procedures available for this and the benefits and drawbacks of these procedures so the practitioner may be able to choose which type would be most beneficial for a particular patient.
