Why would one need a snoring surgery?

Snoring is a big problem for some people. It usually occurs when something is restricting the airflow during sleep. Loud or long-term snoring may raise the risk of certain conditions including heart attack, stroke and other health issues.
There are many options for a person to manage snoring, ranging from non-invasive methods such as losing weight and avoiding alcohol to surgery. If snoring is becoming a serious problem, it is best to consult a specialist and know the suitable options to manage the condition.

Question 2

What kinds of surgery are available for snoring treatment?

Accepted Answer

Surgery may be needed to correct a physical problem that is causing you to snore. Surgical options include:
Somnoplasty - It is a minimally invasive procedure in which the soft tissue in the upper airway or back of the throat are removed or stiffened
Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy - These procedures include removal of the tonsils and/or adenoids to prevent snoring. Tonsillectomy is the surgery to remove excess tissue from the back of the throat, and in adenoidectomy, the tissues from the back of the nose are removed.
Palate surgery: This is recommended for some patient and involves removal of certain tissues of the soft palate that obstruct the breathing.
Upper airway stimulator: A device called Inspire is used to treat people who have sleep apnea. In this, a small pulse generator is placed under the skin in the upper chest. It involves a wire to the lung that detects the natural breathing pattern and another wire to the neck that delivers mild stimulation to nerves that control airway muscles and keep them open. The device is programmed by the doctor using an external remote. The user is also given a remote to turn it on before bed and turn off upon in the morning.
Laser-assisted uvulapalatoplasty (LAUP): This procedure is to reduce tissue in the soft palate and improves the airflow.
Radiofrequency ablation: It is also known as Somnoplasty. It involves the use of radiofrequency energy to shrink excess tissue in the soft palate and tongue.
Septoplasty: In this procedure, a deviated septum in the nose is straightened to improve the airflow through the nose. The surgeon reshapes the cartilage and bone.

Question 3

What are the alternatives to surgery?

Accepted Answer

There are many non-invasive snoring treatments available, including over-the-counter medications, but most are unable to properly cure snoring. However, there are some thing that a person with mild snoring problem can do. This includes:

Losing weight and better eating habits.
Avoid certain drugs, including tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and antihistamines before going to bed.
Avoid alcohol and heavy meals at least four hours before sleeping
Have regular sleeping patterns by trying to go to bed at the same time every night.
Sleeping on the side rather than on the back.
Keeping the head raised on the bed by four inches 

If these simple tips and remedies are not effective, the doctor may suggest further treatment. There are a variety of medical treatments to reduce or eliminate snoring.The mild forms of snoring is generally caused by swelling in the lining of the nose. The doctor may prescribe a steroid nasal spray that has to be taken before sleeping. The patient can also use dental appliances or nasal strips. 
Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP): This treatment involves the use of a mask which is worn over the nose and mouth while sleeping. The mask is attached to a machine that helps deliver a continuous flow of air into the nostrils and the pressure from flowing air helps keep the airways open so that breathing is not hindered.
Other kinds of airway pressure or PAP machines are also available, such as the BiPAP (two levels of air pressure), and the VPAP (varying levels of air pressure).
