Elimination of snoring, laser management of blocked nose

Snoring. Maybe the biggest scare of shared bedrooms. Thousands of sure home ideas how to get rid of the problems of very distorting common life, reliably fail. Moreover temporary informatic show that snoring can have not just social but also medical consequences.

Is it possible to remove snoring? What are the reasons to it? Those are questions asked by all the people that are touched by this problem. Snoring can be most often solved by laser procedure on soft palate (LAUP) or pošibly by laser clearing of nasal passageway (LAMT).

What is suitable candidate?

Suitable candidate is anybody who snores. This problem itself is not a dinase but a cosmetic defekt with familiar social consequences. Part of the snores has more serious damage. We call it sleep apnoea syndrome. It is characterized by pauses in breathing during sleep that can have servus medical impal on the sick person. The patient suffers not just from snoring but also from headaches, drowsiness in the mening, excessive daily sleepiness, memory failures, impotence, high blood pressure and so on.

We can identify the sleep apnoea syndrome by careful examination and subsequently also cure it. In other cases the need of cure is mainly given by the wish of the patient to solve his/her social or cosmetic problem.

Before the treatment

Each treatment has to be done after the examination of ENT specialist which is also a surgeon and has experience not just with laser but also with other treatments of snorning. Only this way the best process is guarranteed.

The process of the treatment

The treatment is performed under a local anesthesia and it is mostly an outpatient procedure. The process of the procedure is painless with minimum bleeding. During the surgery a new palate including uvula is created, following healing leads to thein tightening.

After the treatment

The period after surgery is characterized with pain and feeling sof pressure in the throat are moderato with analgetik. The intensitiy of pain and mainly the time that it lasts depends on the type of applied laser. A top laser technice offers a favourable progress after the surgery, especially reduction of pain and faster healing. During several days most patiens are returning to work.

Final effect of the treatment

Final effect that is evaluated after several weeks, is very good and long lasting in most cases. The Access rate of the treatment is 90%.

Laser management of blocked nose

The most common causes of nasal obstruction that may cause snoring but can also disrupt sleep and normal day-to-day life are deviated nasal septum and enlarged inferior turbinates.

The conventional and hardly less brutal operations to correct these abnormalities with the scalpel have now been superseded by the laser machine. As well as all the advantages described for the soft palate operation, a laser operation on the nose takes 10-15 minutes requires only surface anaesthesia, does not require any post-operative packing of the nose is usually so well tolerated that patients can return to work on the same day as the operation. There is seldom any pain or post-operative bleeding and never any damage caused to the cartilage supports of the nose.
