Otolaryngology - Somnoplasty: New Hope for Snorers

somnoplasty – from the Greek "somno," to sleep, and "plastikos," to shape or form

Somnoplasty, an outpatient treatment that reduces the tissues of the tongue, soft palate and nasal passages, is giving new hope to those whose lives are disrupted by snoring or mild sleep apnea. Guthrie has offered this procedure since February 1999, and Guthrie otolaryngologists have since performed over 100 somnoplasty procedures. Call Guthrie’s Otolaryngology department (toll-free 1-888-4GUTHRIE (1-888-448-8474), ask for Otolaryngology) for an appointment to see if you could be a candidate for somnoplasty.
