Abstract
The theme of conservative and surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) revolves around the various approaches and strategies used to treat this common sleep disorder. OSAS is a sleep disorder characterized by breathing pauses due to upper airway obstruction. The treatment of OSAS involves conservative and surgical approach. Conservative management uses non-invasive techniques and lifestyle changes, such as weight loss, positional therapy, and CPAP. Surgical management corrects anatomical abnormalities causing the obstruction, including uvulopharyngopalatoplasty and other upper airway surgeries. Conservative management is usually the first treatment, while surgery is for severe or refractory OSAS. In this chapter, we provide information about possible options for OSAS management and treatment.
