A relatively painless procedure that can be done in the doctor's office within 20 minutes, with only local anaesthesia is to be hoped that give all people who snore. More than 40,000 people who snore have been treated with the Pillar ® procedure in the world, and positive and sustainable results, which are carried out.
The process is a pillar of minimally invasive, easy and safe for snoring and mild to moderate snoring, snoring, including obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) causes in many patients. Snoring is characterized by the flapping of the soft palate, caused when the muscles relax in the back of the throat during sleep. Relaxed muscles block the air flow causing the vibrations; the air comes out of breath, and creates the sound of snoring.
While snoring may seem a mere nuisance, snoring keeps the right amount of sleep, the recovery that they need for their body to function properly. The loss of sleep, with snoring can concentrate on a person's ability to learn and why affect connected. It causes memory loss and irritability, and motor skills such as driving. It can even lead to depression.
Snoring is not just the person who snores. Relationships suffer, if the dream of a bed partner is also upset because it causes the same symptoms of fatigue during the day for the body as the offending party snoring. This means that both suffer from driving irritability, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, and. Depending on the intensity of snoring, the whole family involved.
However, if the snoring is caused by obstructive sleep apnoea is the person who snores should be concerned about the health problems even more serious. OSA causes a person repeatedly stops breathing during the night because the muscles in the back of the throat as the substance actually blocked relax the airways. People who suffer from sleep apnoea stop breathing dozens of times slept during sleep and cannot breathe as much as three quarters of the time them. It can be potentially fatal due to repeated stops and starts breathing can result in a reduction in the amount of oxygen in the blood.Apnea is particularly serious when there is more than twenty or thirty events per hour. It is known to be connected to the high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, lung disease and stroke.
For many years, the CPAP device examined by doctors on the gold standard in the treatment of snoring. This machine provides a continuous flow of air through the upper airway muscles and keeps the throat from collapsing. The CPAP device is a generator of air pressure based on a small night table beside the bed, which is connected by a tube used to seal a nasal mask during sleep. Although very effective in getting patients to the use, which is extremely difficult to be observed. Many snorers report uncomfortable to sleep with a nasal mask, sleep, and described a feeling of claustrophobia and noise of the machine that prevents them.
Since there is a high failure rate of CSF and there are some cases that do not work, surgery was an option.
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) was a common surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea for many years. It can be performed under general anaesthesia and involves removing the uvula and a small part of the soft palate has a painful recovery. Another surgical technique for treatment of OSA is jaw surgery that reduces airway obstruction at the base of the tongue, below the level of the palate and tonsils. There are other forms of surgery, involving removal of bone or muscle and repositioning of the mandible, which were used treatment for apnoea, with more drastic than a tracheotomy, that the creation of a surgical opening of the containing air tube, and place a tube into the hole.
Maybe it's because doctors and patients by the success that we see will be funded on the column procedure. Can be done in the doctor's office in 10 to 20 minutes, there is little pain reported and there is a very high success rate. The procedure stiffens the palate and reduces structural support, the vibration that causes snoring tissue. During the procedure, three small polyester implants in the soft palate and in time, implants and fibrous body's natural reaction to draw attention to the soft palate are located.
