| Sumario: | Introduction and objective: Historically, tracheostomy was the first curative treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, it causes important sequela that make it unacceptable nowadays. When obesity is severe, with a BMI>35, bariatric surgery has become the best and most common treatment for OSA. Synthesis: We present s summary of tracheostomy and bariatric surgery in OSA. Conclusions: Nowadays, tracheostomy has only minimal indications in OSA patients. In patients with severe OSA (AHI>30) and obesity with BMI>35, surgical treatment for OSA is bariatric surgery when patients do not tolerate CPAP. |
