Snoring has often been the subject of jokes…
…without knowing it could be a major life-shortening disease!
Can’t Sleep because of snoring?
Almost every family suffers from an intrusive snorer, which can seriously influence their everyday lives. Snoring as a symptom can be present from childhood till the golden age. The frustrating noise might be the same but the reason is different.
What is snoring?
During sleep, the whole body relaxes. As the air begins to flow through the airpipe, the surrounding tissues will start to vibrate where the airpipe narrows the most. This will create unpleasant sounds that we recognise as snoring. The goal of the treatment is to identify narrowed airways with turbulent airflow and create a smooth airflow with pleasant sleep.
If the snoring is left untreated, it can cause significant health issues such as sleep disturbance, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, memory problems, headaches, and daytime fatigue, leading to an overall impairment in the quality of life.

Are we able to identify from where the snoring originates?
The consultation regarding the snoring problem is built on three types of investigation.
General snoring assessment
We ask several questions related to your sleeping pattern; therefore, it is advisable to come with your partner who the witness to the snoring is.
Mapping the upper airway
We then use the tiny flexible camera to map and record the airway from the tip of the nose till the voice box
Sleep study – either at home or in the hospital
If, during the consultation, more severe sleep apnoe (OSA) had been suspected, we request a sleep study for you either in your home or in our hospital.
After reviewing the test results, we give you a personalised management plan.
Let us help you to solve your problem
After identifying the obstructed area, during surgery, the goal is to establish smooth maximal airflow and increase the stiffness of the vibrating soft tissue. That may involve surgery on the nostrils, nasal septum, turbinate, adenoid & tonsillar tissue, soft palate and enlargement of the tongue base.
If, for any reason, the surgery is not advised, we will advise you how to pick the right non-surgical devices, like a mouthguard or sleep apnea machine (CPAP)
Most of our operations are minimally invasive; therefore, recovery is smooth and quick.
