Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road stands as the foremost sleep apnoea surgery hospital in Kanakapura Road, helping patients escape the exhausting cycle of interrupted breathing and daytime fatigue that disrupts lives. Our experienced ENT surgeons perform targeted surgeries addressing the root causes, enlarged tonsils, nasal obstruction, tongue base collapse, and palate instability, rather than just masking symptoms. Families notice the transformation when patients sleep through the night undisturbed, wake refreshed, and regain energy for work and family life. We combine comprehensive sleep studies with surgical precision, offering everything from uvulopalatopharyngoplasty to hypoglossal nerve stimulation, ensuring each procedure matches the patient's specific anatomy and severity of obstruction for lasting results.
Sleep apnoea surgery is considered after a detailed assessment confirms structural airway obstruction as the cause of symptoms. Evaluation includes sleep studies, airway examination, and review of daytime sleepiness, snoring, and breathing pauses during sleep. Imaging or endoscopic airway assessment may be advised to identify the level of obstruction.
Based on findings, the surgical plan may involve procedures targeting the nose, soft palate, tonsils, tongue base, or a combination of these areas. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia to maintain airway control and patient comfort. The approach aims to widen or stabilise the airway to reduce collapse during sleep.
During surgery, careful tissue handling and bleeding control are prioritised. Procedure duration varies depending on the complexity and number of sites addressed. After surgery, patients are monitored closely for breathing stability and pain control. Operative findings guide postoperative care, follow-up planning, and long-term sleep management.
Surgical treatment for sleep apnoea offers specific benefits for selected patients.
Improves airway patency during sleep
Reduces snoring and breathing interruptions
Enhances sleep quality and daytime alertness
Targets the anatomical causes of obstruction
Supports long-term symptom improvement when indicated
From evaluation to recovery, patients are guided through each stage with clear communication and structured care.
Consultation & Diagnosis - Review of sleep symptoms, airway examination, and sleep study findings.
Pre-operative Preparation - Guidance on medications, fasting, and anaesthetic assessment to ensure readiness.
Surgery Day - DISE (DRUG-INDUCED SLEEP ENDOSCOPY) is usually done to confirm the findings and locate the obstruction. Sleep apnoea surgery is performed under general anaesthesia by ENT surgeons.
Recovery Room Monitoring - Close observation of breathing, oxygen levels, and pain control.
Hospital Stay - Short inpatient monitoring may be required depending on the procedure type.
Postoperative Care - Instructions on diet, activity, and airway care following surgery.
Follow-up Appointments - Scheduled reviews to assess healing and symptom response.
Long-term Recovery - Ongoing assessment of sleep quality and breathing improvement.
