This book provides detailed, specific information regarding the
non-surgical and surgical treatment modalities currently employed for
the management of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with the aim of enabling
practitioners to achieve optimal outcomes in individual patients. The
book opens by offering clear guidance on the medical and surgical
evaluation of patients with OSA. Coverage of medical management options
includes positive airway pressure therapy, positional therapy, the use
of mandibular repositioning devices, along with other treatment
modalities. Surgical interventions are then exhaustively described in a
series of chapters that document the approaches to specific sites of
obstruction. Information is included on operative airway management, and
the concluding chapter addresses the care of pediatric patients. Modern Management of Obstructive Sleep Apnea will be a valuable asset for oral and maxillofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists, and sleep medicine physicians.
