Abstract

Patients who undergo TORS for OSA are routinely scheduled for a control postoperative sleep study 6–9 months after the procedure as well as complete head and neck clinical evaluation, including awake fiberoptic examination of the upper airway. If the patient’s data still meets the International Classification Systems of Disorderes version 3 (ICSD-3) criteria for the diagnosis of OSA, and the patient is still eligible for CPAP according to Associazione Italiana di Pneumologia Ospedaliera (AIPO) Guidelines the surgery outcome is considered as “failure”, and a new complete work up is offered in order to understand why TORS failed and what other options are available.
