Postoperative wound pain after surgery for snoring and sleep apnea is a major problem that patients have to face. Patients have to endure wound pain and difficulty eating and drinking for at least 3 weeks, and the recovery period is longer before returning to normal. This causes many patients to completely refuse surgical treatment.
Currently, the Center for Bad Breath, Snoring, and Tonsil Treatment with Laser at Phyathai Hospital 3 has developed a new technique for surgery to treat snoring and sleep apnea. It is a less painful snoreplasty surgery (Less painful snoreplasty ) This innovation is called “ Modified Anterior Palatoplasty ” In this surgical method, there is no removal of soft palate tissue, unlike all previous techniques. Instead, sutures are used to lift and tighten the soft palate, combined with special non-absorbable threads (non absorbable thread ) implanted in the soft palate 1-3 strands to tighten and firm the soft palate. This surgical innovation can effectively treat mild snoring and sleep apnea. When combined with other surgeries of the nose and throat, such as LASER Turbinoplasty and LASER Tonsilloplasty it can treat moderate and severe snoring and sleep apnea.
“In summary” The benefits that patients will receive from this innovative surgery for snoring and sleep apnea are:
- Can treat mild snoring and sleep apnea
- Very little wound pain (pain score 1-3 ) because there is no removal of soft palate tissue
- Minimal blood loss, approximately 1-2 cc
- Hospital stay for only 1 day before discharge
- Fast recovery
