It reviews the pathophysiological basis of sleep apnea and the specific mechanism by which upper airway stimulation provides airway support in this disorder. It also provides practical insights into this therapy related to patient selection, clinical outcomes, surgical technique, long term follow up, adverse events, as well as recommendations for those aspiring to develop an upper airway stimulation program. It provides an overview of unique populations and circumstances which may extend the utility of the procedure, and which may provide challenges in management, as well as thoughts on the future of this technology.
