Snoring during sleep is mainly observed in elderly people, but it can also occur in young individuals and even children. In most cases, the snoring person does not pay attention to their snoring at night and then wakes up in the morning surprised by their fatigue, noting that they did not sleep well, and sometimes experiencing a headache. All this happens because the process of breathing is disrupted during snoring, leading to brief apnea. The brain does not receive enough oxygen during this time, which affects the nervous system. Additionally, those around the snoring person are also affected: the snorer disrupts their sleep.
At the Top Ichilov Medical Center, snoring is treated using various methods: therapeutic and surgical. Conservative treatment of snoring includes exercises to strengthen the soft palate, masks, and treatment of accompanying pathologies (often excess weight).
Laser treatment for snoring at the Top Ichilov Medical Center is performed by highly qualified ENT surgeons, whose experience and professionalism guarantee excellent medical care and remarkable results.
Surgical Treatment of Snoring at the Top Ichilov Medical Center
Surgical treatment for patients suffering from snoring at the medical center is performed through laser correction of the soft palate. Using a laser, excess sagging tissue of the soft palate is removed. During the operation, blood vessels are coagulated, thus eliminating the risk of bleeding. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and the patient feels no pain at all. The duration of the intervention is 30 – 40 minutes.
Hospitalization is not required for the intervention; the patient can go home after a few hours in the recovery room. Minor swelling of the palate and sensitivity disturbances may be observed in the first few days, but these symptoms will quickly resolve. As a result of laser treatment, snoring does not return, allowing the patient to sleep peacefully while their loved ones enjoy the night’s silence.
Before treatment, the patient undergoes an examination: a traditional assessment of overall health and rhinomanometry to evaluate the anatomical features of the upper respiratory tract.
