OSA / Snoring Treatment Launched in UAE
The Khaleej Times reports on the launch in the UAE of a new surgical treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea and the snoring it produces.
The procedure is designed to prevent blockage of the airways when sleeping, allowing better flow of oxygen. It was first applied in the US in 1998 and has now been made available in the UAE at the Al Zahra Hospital in Sharjah.
Dr Fahim Tadrus said: "The operation basically will give the patient a balance for the tongue and will not close the airway".
