Advances in surgery in children with obstructive sleep apnea

I. Parunov

Abstract

Severe pediatric obstructive sleep apnea, usually, requires timely conservative and/or surgical management. Recently, several operative techniques are widely used worldwide. Here belong mainly tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and adenotonsillectomy. The surgical interventions are characterized by a different effectiveness and safety. The objective of the present review is to identify the new scientific advances in the field of childhood obstructive sleep apnea surgery.
