Advantages of the Multilevel Bipolar Radiofrequency (RF) for Treatment of Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and Snoring

Abstract

Background:The disadvantage of current resections, ablations, expansions, re-locations, suturing, nerves stimulation techniques or transoral robotics surgery is their invasiveness or morbidity. In contrast to this, the bipolar RF interventions respectfully to basic valuable anatomical and physiological knowledge as well to the new pathophysiological and histological research, maintain the involved anatomical structures intact and due to their simplicity and low patient impediment are still advantageous as the means of first therapeutically choice. Within this topical context the contemporary study was undertaken in an effort to re-evaluate the use and the efficacy of an already published simultaneous and/or multi-level bipolar RF own method for snoring and moderate OSA.
