Abstract
The barbed repositioning pharyngoplasty surgical technique is becoming more widely used for patients with obstructive sleep apnea due to its safety, effectiveness, and rapidity, as evidenced by multicenter studies and Meta-analyses. In order to achieve uniform surgical outcomes, avoid errors that could worsen outcomes, and enable adequate data comparison, a standardized procedure is required to overcome surgeon-related variability. The aim of this paper is to provide practical tips and tricks based on our surgical practice that can make the surgeon's work easier and aid in achieving desired outcomes.
