Nowadays, snoring is not only a social problem, but it became a disease, especially when associated to obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). It is associated to many other illnesses, such as systemic arterial hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction and erectile dysfunction. The treatment for snoring and OSAHS remains a challenge for medicine. Although the gold standard treatment is CPAP, many surgeries have been proposed as alternatives to its resolution. In this chapter, the authors will discuss the surgical procedures most commonly performed for snoring and OSAHS control.
