About Hyoid Suspension (Sleep Apnea)
Under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes a cut in the upper neck and secures the hyoid bone to the thyroid cartilage or the lower jaw, using sutures or a small device. This moves the tongue base and surrounding tissue forward and helps keep the airway open. It is often performed together with palate or tongue-base surgery. A sleep study and sleep endoscopy help decide whether it suits you.
Results vary, because the operation changes only one level of the airway. On its own it gives a modest improvement in snoring and apnoea, and it works best as part of a combined plan. Success depends on correct patient selection, body weight and surgeon experience. A repeat sleep study a few months later measures the actual benefit.
Expect an overnight stay and some swallowing discomfort for a week or two, with a soft diet. A small neck scar is usual. Plan to stay close for a few days. Bring your sleep study results, and arrange a follow-up sleep test with a local physician and a plan for continued CPAP use if needed.
Usually a good fit if
- Moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea with tongue base obstruction.
- CPAP not tolerated or not effective.
- Suitable neck anatomy and no major bite abnormalities for this procedure.
- Willingness to have a repeat sleep study to check the effect.
May need to wait if
- Central sleep apnoea or obstruction in other areas that this surgery cannot treat.
- Severe obesity where airway surgery alone is unlikely to help.
- Unreviewed bleeding disorders or blood thinners.
- Active neck infection or conditions where wound healing is poor.
How to prepare
- Complete a sleep study and endoscopy that confirms collapse at the tongue base.
- Bring your CPAP machine and tell the team about heart and lung conditions and medicines.
- Follow fasting instructions for general anaesthesia and avoid blood thinners only on your doctor's instruction.
- Plan a soft diet at home and several days of rest before travel.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Is my obstruction at the tongue base, and will this treat it?
- Will this be combined with other airway surgery?
- What risks are there to swallowing and voice?
- How will you check success after surgery?
- Can I still use CPAP afterwards if needed?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- No sleep study or airway endoscopy is done.
- Surgery is advised alone for any sleep apnoea.
- The risk to swallowing is not discussed.
- No follow-up sleep study is planned.
