Characterization of Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Undergoing Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy: A Retrospective Study of Nine Years (2014-2022)

DISE is a safe and reliable diagnostic modality for identifying upper airway collapse sites, revealing anatomical alterations that may not be apparent during standard physical examination. This technique plays a crucial role in evaluating patients considered for surgical intervention or those who have not responded to first-line therapies. DISE enables a personalized approach to OSAS management by tailoring treatment strategies to individual patient anatomy and obstruction patterns.
