Snoring is a common complaint of patients (and their spouses) treated by otolaryngologists.

Although otolaryngologic surgeons commonly focus on the palate when treating patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), they also need to look at the tongue.

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.

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) encompasses a spectrum of problems that range from primary snoring to obstructive sleep apnea.
