To reveal the clinical application and outcomes of integrated conservative treatment (mouth taping, lateral sleep pillow, myofunctional therapy, GLP1-weight reduction). To demonstrate novel surgical techniques (relocation pharyngoplasty, suspension palatoplasty, palatal hybrid surgery, Coblation endoscopic lingual lightening CELL, Coblation ablationtongue CAT, transoral tongue suspension TOTS) for outcome improvement in OSA patients. To show multi-disciplinary combined surgery (combined airway and bariatric surgery CABS) for OSA patients with morbid obesity. To expand the treatment indication in OSA patients in children (behavior, growth) and elderly (Alzheimers disease. nocturia) for preventive medicine and holistic care.

The book provides cutting-edge technology for diagnosis and treatment of OSA. Through robust evidence, this book aims to clear up doubts in concept and technique for OSA treatment.
