Healthy sleep is fundamental to your quality of life.
We offer scientific, reliable, and personalized solutions for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders with a specialist physician approach.
Sleep apnea and snoring do not only affect nighttime sleep; they can also lead to daytime fatigue, cardiovascular strain, decreased sleep quality, impaired concentration, and a significant reduction in quality of life. Therefore, determining the right treatment plan is important for everyone. At our clinic, we offer personalized, scientific treatments.
Every treatment plan begins with a lifestyle assessment. In some cases, sleep apnea symptoms can improve significantly with simple lifestyle changes:
Weight loss — Excess weight can increase pressure around the neck and narrow the airway, so maintaining a healthy weight is important.
Limiting alcohol and cigarettes — Alcohol consumption, especially before bedtime, can increase muscle relaxation and intensify snoring.
Sleep position optimization — Sleeping on your back can increase snoring; sleeping on your side may be beneficial.
Sleep hygiene — Habits such as getting regular sleep and limiting phone/screen use before bedtime improve sleep quality.
These basic measures are an important part of the treatment plan and are considered the first step for most people.
CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) The device is the most common scientifically proven treatment for sleep apnea. This device keeps the airway open during sleep by delivering continuous air pressure through the nose or mouth, preventing apnea attacks.
Similar devices other than CPAP:
Bipap and APAP — Provides more advanced air pressure settings.
Intraoral devices — It is preferred especially for mild and moderate sleep apnea; it keeps the airway open by gently moving the lower jaw forward.
These methods are non-surgical solutions that are easy to implement in daily life.
Surgical approaches are generally non-invaziv tedaviler yeterli olmadığında or when anatomical obstruction is evident. The goal of surgical treatments is to open narrowed areas in the upper respiratory tract and ensure the free flow of air.
Septoplasty and turbinate surgery — If there is a deviated septum or nasal congestion, airflow is improved.
Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) — The airway is widened by reshaping or removing tissues such as the soft palate, uvula, or tonsils if necessary.
Laser-assisted surgery — Tissue reduction is performed using a laser applied to soft tissues; bleeding is reduced and healing is faster.
Radiofrequency surgery — It reduces tissue vibration with internal heat and opens the airway.
Robotic techniques enable more precise interventions with minimally invasive surgery and can shorten recovery times. This method is considered when conventional surgical treatments fail to provide an adequate response or in cases of specific anatomical incompatibilities.
In some people, enlarged tonsils or adenoids can block the airway. In this case, treatment can be provided by removing the enlarged tissue.
In moderate-to-severe cases where adequate results cannot be achieved despite all treatments, more advanced techniques may be considered. These include: nerve stimulation, jaw/neck surgeries such innovative procedures are included and are applied according to patient selection.
Each patient's anatomy, sleep study (polysomnography/PSG) results, and lifestyle are different. Therefore, the treatment plan:
Detailed examination and sleep assessment
Personalized risk and needs analysis
Comparison of surgical and non-surgical options
Long-term follow-up and, when necessary, adaptation of treatment
in the form of planned.
The success of treatment is not limited to only sleep apnea reduce snoring. At the same time;
Reducing the risk of heart diseases
Concentration and reducing daytime sleepiness
Improving the quality of life
Improve sleep quality of bed partners
serious benefits.
