Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Sleep Apnea Surgery. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Sleep apnea surgery is not a single operation but a family of procedures designed to open, stabilise, or stimulate the upper airway so it does not collapse during sleep. It is considered for adults and children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy, have a specific anatomical obstruction, or need a more durable long-term solution. Depending on where the airway collapses — the nose, soft palate, tongue base, or jaw — the surgeon may recommend nasal surgery, palate reshaping (such as UPPP), tonsil and adenoid removal, tongue base reduction, hypoglossal nerve stimulator implantation, or jaw advancement surgery (maxillomandibular advancement). Some patients require procedures at more than one level of the airway, either in a single operation or in stages. Recovery time and outcomes vary considerably by procedure type, with soft-tissue surgeries typically requiring one to three weeks of recovery and jaw surgery requiring several weeks longer.
