What are the benefits of the Pillar Procedure?
The Pillar Procedure is a simple, effective treatment for chronic snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The Pillar Procedure can be performed in a single, brief visit to our office or in combination with additional procedures to treat other areas of upper airway obstruction. Clinical studies have shown that: • Patients experienced a significant decrease in snoring intensity.1,2 • Bed partner satisfaction with the reduction in snoring after the Pillar Procedure has been documented at 80% or higher.1,2 • Approximately 80% of patients demonstrated a reduction in their AHI, and results were sustained at one year after the Pillar Procedure.3 • Patients experienced less daytime sleepiness and significant improvements in lifestyle after the Pillar Procedure.4 Once the snoring problem has been resolved, couples can share a bed again, enjoy a more restful sleep and live a healthier lifestyle.
