There are surgical procedures for Snore Treatment
Many challenges exist in the field. Successful snore treatment requires a minimum of three steps. These include accurate diagnosis, correct selection of technique, and skillful application. Although, in children lymphoid hyperplasia contributes significantly to disease, defined upper airway pathology is uncommon in adults. Instead, upper airway anatomy tissue is normal but structurally disproportionate.
As such, upper airway surgery for sleep disordered breathing is not excisional but is reconstructive. The primary goal of these procedures is to modify tissues and alter structure to improve and restore upper airway function are a common approach for snore treatment or snore cure.
Snore treatment as a multifactoral disease, no single structure contributes and treating a single structure infrequently treats the disease adequately.

Since many structures may contribute to sleep disordered breathing and most reconstructive procedures address only limited segments of the upper airway, few patients can be effectively treated with snore treatment using a cookie cutter, palate only algorithm. Instead, multiple pathologies require multiple techniques. Techniques also vary with surgeon’s preferences and skills. Many techniques have been too morbid for patients with milder disease. This is now less so although major progress is needed to snore cure.
The wide variety of techniques makes assessment of effectiveness difficult when considering different snore treatment.
Most accept that multiple segments of the airway contribute to upper airway collapse, increased resistance and ventilatory instability, but how to treat is without consensus. Available data supports that isolated procedures offer far less benefit than more comprehensive treatment of the upper airway. Too often suboptimal treatment results from a failure to recognize or understand the structure and pathophysiology of the upper airway when performing snore treatment.
