**8. Conclusion**

There has been a significant improvement in the current surgical techniques for the treatment of the OSA. Surgical management is usually warranted in appropriately selected patients who could not or failed CPAP or other alternative therapies. Also, for patient with anatomical abnormalities that can be corrected. Currently DISE is very useful method and widely used to determine the levels of collapse.

A comprehensive discussion between surgeon and patient prior to the surgery is warranted, discussing realistic expectations of the treatment benefits and complications. Surgical treatments showed long-term benefits in appropriately selected patients but no complete elimination of OSA.

Patient who undergo any surgical procedure will require long term monitoring for recurrence or worsening of OSA.
