Controversaries exist in the proper surgical management of obstructive sleep apnea as it is generally involving multi-level upper airway obstruction. Surgical success is critically dependent on correct identification of sites of obstruction in the upper airway. This symposium will highlight contemporary methods of multi-level obstruction methods that may aid the surgeon in performing the most appropriate surgery for the OSA individual.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Explain the principles and techniques of drug-induced sleep endoscopy.
Describe the significance and utilization of dynamic MRI in upper airway obstruction.
Discuss the use of advance technology in diagnosis of upper airway obstruction.
