Sleep Apnea Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea occurs when air cannot flow into or out of the person’s nose or mouth although efforts to breathe continue. Early recognition and treatment of sleep apnea is important because it may be associated with irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. Purpose : By surgically advancing the upper jaw, lower jaw and chin, the soft palate and tongue are pulled forward opening the airway and allowing for the free flow of air through the nose and mouth. Operating Time : 6 hours Anesthesia : General Recovery Time : 10-14 days Location : RMH Discomfort : Moderate
