A new surgical procedure for Obstructive Sleep Apnea has been done in Belgium at Antwerp University Hospital. The first 10 patients have shown improvement. The procedure is called The Advance System, which is an implant that is placed in the tongue and lower jaw to prevent upper airway collapse during sleep.
Dr. Evert Hamans headed a team to do this procedure for the first time worldwide earlier this year in Belgium. The results of the follow-up exams of the 10 patients just became available.
