For many people who have sleep apnea, they look to surgery as a means to a "greater awakening" which can at times, lead to disappointing outcomes. What exactly is meant by "sleep apnea surgery" and why doesn't everyone get it? In this episode we will:

• define sleep apnea and how we measure its severity
• discuss the adults who are most appropriate candidates
• look at the various ways "success" is defined with surgical outcomes [reduction in respiratory events, health outcomes, sleep measures] and how that might be at odds with how one feels after surgery
• touch upon bariatric as a form of sleep apnea surgery
• list the various procedures that target the nose/nasal cavity, jaw, tongue, and throat
• highlight the hypoglossal nerve stimulator/Inspire therapy and talk about patient populations that work well with this therapy
