TITLE
Rishi Jay Gupta: Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
TALK INFO
In this lecture, Dr. Rishi Jay Gupta will provide a clinically focused overview of hypoglossal nerve stimulation for OSA, placing the technology within the broader spectrum of modern sleep surgery. He will discuss patient evaluation and selection, airway assessment, surgical principles of implantation, treatment optimization, outcomes, and important considerations in determining which patients are most likely to benefit.
The lecture will also examine how hypoglossal nerve stimulation complements established surgical approaches such as maxillomandibular advancement and how increasingly sophisticated airway phenotyping can help clinicians move toward a more individualized approach to OSA treatment.
