Abstract
Tongue base suspension is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. In this video, an exemplary case of a 30-year-old male diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea who underwent tongue base suspension and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is described. The video contains a step-by-step description of the surgical steps of a new minimally invasive tongue base suspension technique using the Y-knot All-Suture Anchor System with monofilament polypropylene suture.
