The role of laser assisted uvulopalatoplasty in snoring and sleep apnea.
1. A careful history and favorable physical exam is mandatory for consideration of LAUP. 2. Concurrent diseases must be addressed for optimal results. 3. A sleep study should be recommended with any evidence suggestive of sleep apnea. 4. LAUP cures snoring. 5. Primary treatment of severe sleep apnea is nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP). 6. Mild sleep apnea with appropriate physical exam can be expected to have acceptable results when treated by LAUP. 7. LAUP should be considered for moderate to severe sleep apnea only if NCPAF intolerance is intractible.
