Authors' recommendations:
Further investigation is required to establish which patients (mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnoea) would benefit the most from this procedure, and whether greater success would be achieved in conjunction with more invasive surgical procedures. In addition, long term follow-up of obstructive sleep apnoea patients may indicate whether or not the observed reductions in apnoea/hypopnoea episodes (AHI) delivered a clinical benefit to these patients.
