Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an important pathology where the involvement of an otorhinolaryngologist is essential. Additional examinations in OSAS allow assessing the level, shape and degree of obstruction of the soft tissues of the upper respiratory tract (URT), which influence the choice of treatment tactics. The literature review describes new diagnostic techniques to optimize treatment tactics in this category of patients. The low efficiency of surgical treatment at the oropharyngeal level is shown. A multilevel approach to OSAS surgery is optimal.

Keywords: obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), upper respiratory endoscopy, slip endoscopy, surgical treatment of OSA.
