Effective solution to snoring and sleep apnea
Barbed-pharyngoplasty is an innovative, low-trauma surgery aimed at eliminating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
40-60 minutes
The technique is based on the use of special prickly (barbed) threads, which allow minimally invasive strengthening and tightening of the soft palate and pharyngeal walls.
Preparation for the operation and carrying out
Preoperative examination
Indications
- Snoring
- Apnea of mild and moderate severity, in some cases severe
- Intolerance or unwillingness to use CPAP therapy
Contraindications
- General surgical contraindications
- Significant excess weight
- Pregnancy
Obstructive sleep apnea is not just snoring. This is a serious condition that can lead to:
-
Cardiovascular diseases: increased risk of heart attack and stroke
-
Metabolic disorders: diabetes mellitus, obesity
-
Cognitive problems: decreased memory, concentration, working capacity
-
Chronic fatigue and depression
-
Decreased immunity
-
Problems in your personal life due to snoring and irritability
Advantages of the method
Minimal injury
- The operation is performed without external incisions, often without even removing the tonsils.
Fast recovery
- Mild intervention means less pain, less swelling, and a return to normal life much earlier.
Efficiency from the first nights
- Patients note a significant reduction in snoring and an improvement in sleep quality in the coming weeks.
What is the uniqueness of the method?
- Barbed thread is a modern suture material that is self-fixed in fabrics, without knots. This reduces the operation time and increases its reliability.
- Instead of tissue removal, as in classical operations, here the tissues are redistributed, strengthened and repositioned more physiologically.
- Fast, accurate, under control: the method is well visualized and easily adapts to the anatomy of a particular patient.
- Compatible with other methods: barbed-pharyngoplasty can be part of a comprehensive treatment for apnea, including CPAP therapy, laser or orthodontics.
Suitable for whom?
-
People suffering from snoring or mild to moderate forms of sleep apnea
-
Patients for whom other methods are ineffective or inconvenient (for example, CPAP)
-
Those who are looking for a gentle, modern approach without radical intervention
