Schlafapnoe

Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which those affected repeatedly experience breathing pauses during sleep. These breathing pauses lead to the body not being sufficiently supplied with oxygen, which brings serious risks for health. Often those affected take no notice of this condition, which prevents a quick start to therapy. Untreated, sleep apnea can lead to serious illnesses such as high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, or even to diabetes and depression.

In our competence center for sleep apnea in Zurich, we rely on innovative therapy methods that not only treat sleep apnea, but also permanently stop snoring, which leads to restful sleep without daytime fatigue. Our treatment plans, individually tailored to the patient, begin with a detailed diagnosis in order to identify the causes of the sleep apnea.

Professor Hermann F. Sailer leads our center and brings over 25 years of experience in the treatment of this condition. Under his supervision, we developed the "Rotation Advancement" method, which represents a proven surgical solution for permanent healing. Our therapy approaches are not only medically well-founded, but also patient-oriented, so that we can sustainably improve the quality of life of our patients.

In addition, we offer extensive information and consultations in order to raise awareness of the dangers of sleep apnea and to enable those affected to receive quick help. Through the combination of scientific know-how and human understanding, we can make a positive contribution to the health of our patients and help them toward a better sense of well-being.
