Palatal Injection for Snoring Explained By Dr. Rajesh Bhardwaj


Palatal Injection for Snoring

Injection snoreplasty is a nonsurgical treatment for snoring that involves the injection of a hardening agent into the upper palate. Army researchers from Walter Reed Army Medical Center introduced this procedure at the 2000 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery Foundation.

Those seeking injection snoreplasty to reduce snoring should first be screened for obstructive sleep apnea or OSA (frequent cessation of breathing due to upper airway obstruction) by undergoing a sleep test. If sleep apnea is confirmed, other treatment may be recommended.

Injection snoreplasty is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. After numbing the upper palate with topical anesthetic, a hardening agent is injected just under the skin on the top of the mouth in front of the uvula (upper palate), creating a small blister. Within a couple of days, the blister hardens, forms scar tissue, and pulls the floppy uvula forward to eliminate or reduce the palatal flutter that causes snoring.

In some patients, the treatment needs to be repeated for optimum benefits. Many agents/ methods can be used including coblation, Laser etc.

Snoring is a complex problem and is multifactorial in its causation. A deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, Adenoids (in children), enlarged Tonsils, swelling base of Tongue and many other conditions contribute to snoring. 

Sleep Apnoea surgical options can be very aggressive with considerable post operative morbidity. Sleep Apnoea may also recure after some time, in spite of the surgery.

Apart from lifestyle changes of weight reduction, avoidance of alcohol and snoring etc, Injection snoreplasty offers a simple solution to this vexatious problem.

Turbinoplasty Surgery - explained by Dr. Rajesh Bhardwaj

Image
Turbinoplasty Surgery Turbinoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at addressing nasal congestion and breathing difficulties caused by enlarged turbinates. The turbinates are bony structures covered in soft tissue located inside the nose, responsible for filtering, warming, and humidifying the air we breathe. When the turbinates become swollen due to allergies, chronic sinusitis, or other nasal conditions, it can lead to nasal obstruction and reduced airflow. Turbinoplasty involves the reduction or repositioning of the turbinates to improve nasal airflow and alleviate breathing problems.
