Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) — Breathe Better. Sleep Better. Live Better.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder caused by repeated narrowing or collapse of the upper airway during sleep. Our Sleep Surgery and OSA services in Bangalore provide comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment for snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and sleep-related breathing disorders.
Evaluation includes assessment of the nose, palate, lateral pharyngeal walls, and tongue-base region to identify the anatomical sites contributing to airway obstruction. A sleep study helps assess the severity and characteristics of the disorder, while Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE) provides a dynamic assessment of the upper airway in a sleep-like state and helps guide targeted treatment planning.
Depending on the patient’s anatomy, severity, and individual requirements, treatment may include CPAP optimisation, medical and lifestyle measures, positional therapy, and surgical correction of upper-airway obstruction. Our surgical expertise includes Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), multilevel upper-airway surgery, palatal surgery, lateral pharyngoplasty, tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, nasal airway surgery, turbinate reduction, septoplasty, tongue-base reduction, lingual tonsil surgery, epiglottectomy and other epiglottic procedures.
Selected patients with complex or multilevel airway obstruction may benefit from advanced site-specific airway procedures. Treatment is tailored according to clinical examination, sleep study findings, DISE, and individual anatomical factors.
Our goal is to improve airway patency during sleep, reduce snoring and OSA-related symptoms, and help patients achieve restorative sleep and an improved quality of life.
