Meilun: Is snoring a disease? Which is better for snoring ventilator or surgery?

With the improvement of people's health awareness, more and more people are aware of the dangers of snoring. Obstructive sleep apnea accounts for about 90% of people with snoring, and is referred to as OSAS in medicine. The occurrence of severe apnea syndrome will seriously affect the patient's cardiopulmonary function, hypercapnia and hypoxemia, respiratory failure, heart failure, etc. may occur.

Generally speaking, wearing a snoring ventilator is the preferred treatment for snoring, but there are always people who don’t like wearing a snoring ventilator and feel uncomfortable to wear and want to be treated by surgery. Then, is severe apnea syndrome surgical treatment? Can it be completely healed? Meilun

No, for apnea, the advantages of surgery are obvious and fast, but the cost of surgery is relatively high, it has a high recurrence rate, and it is prone to complications and many adverse reactions. Although orthognathic surgery can improve the structure of the upper airway, the amount of bleeding is high and requires a higher level of technology. The structure of the upper airway is closely related to obesity and aging. Snoring remained the same for a year. Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on surgery once and for all. Meilun

Moreover, surgery is not suitable for everyone. For some patients with significant abnormalities in the nasal cavity or facial and jaw structure, specialists still need to assess the risks and benefits, make serious decisions, and do not rush.

The above is the relevant information compiled by Meilun, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
