Does multilevel upper airway surgery preclude continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) usage, and is there a best way to repair cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks?
Understanding Sleep Architecture Can Aid Diagnosis
More is being learned about sleep and how it relates to otolaryngology. At the recent Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meeting, attendees heard details about how the different stages of sleep affect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as well as intriguing findings showing how airway anatomy changes can actually be seen during sleep with use of real-time CT imaging.
State of the Art in Tonsillectomy
Even though tonsillectomies are a commonly performed procedure, research continues to find out more about how to best do the surgery, as well as other values of the procedure.

Swallowing Patterns Differ Between Healthy Subjects and Patients with Sleep Apnea
Individuals identified with sleep apnea appear to have a different pattern of deglutition when they are sleeping than do healthy subjects, say researchers who specialize in swallowing studies.
Snoring Treatments Available, But Are Rarely Completely Successful
Snoring is a common complaint of patients (and their spouses) treated by otolaryngologists.
Gaps in the Knowledge Base Regarding Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Experts agree that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the gold standard for management of obstructive sleep apnea.
Treating OSA? Don’t Forget the Tongue
Although otolaryngologic surgeons commonly focus on the palate when treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), they also need to look at the tongue.
Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: One Size Doesn’t Fit All
When it comes to performing surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there are a variety of procedures that can be done, but otolaryngologists sometimes have personal preferences, and preferences can affect everything from how diagnoses are made to the type of surgery performed, often with similar end results.
