## Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Diagnosis and Treatment

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the soft tissues of the throat collapse during sleep, blocking the airway and causing repeated breathing interruptions. These interruptions — which can occur hundreds of times per night — prevent restorative sleep and significantly increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. OSA is often underdiagnosed and undertreated.

## When Is Surgery Appropriate?

For many patients, CPAP therapy or oral appliances effectively manage sleep apnea. However, some patients cannot tolerate CPAP, find it ineffective, or have anatomical issues that are best addressed surgically. Dr. Jenkins evaluates each patient's anatomy, sleep study results, and treatment history to determine whether surgical intervention is appropriate and which procedure offers the best outcome.

## Surgical Options for Sleep Apnea

Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) is the most effective surgical treatment for OSA, moving both jaws forward to permanently enlarge the airway. It has a success rate of over 90% in appropriately selected patients. Other procedures include uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), genioglossus advancement, and hyoid suspension. Dr. Jenkins will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your anatomy and the severity of your OSA.

## Life After Sleep Apnea Surgery

Patients who undergo successful surgical treatment for OSA experience dramatic improvements in sleep quality, daytime energy, mood, cognitive function, and overall health. Many patients are able to discontinue CPAP therapy entirely. The results of maxillomandibular advancement are permanent, as the skeletal changes do not reverse over time.
