At ENTcare, Dr. Muhammad Jabbr, Consultant ENT, Head & Neck Surgeon, provides advanced snoring and sleep apnea surgery in Dubai, offering personalized, evidence-based treatment for adults and children.

What Is Snoring & Sleep Apnea Surgery?
Snoring and sleep apnea surgery is a group of ENT procedures that correct airway obstruction in the nose and throat during sleep. These surgeries improve airflow, reduce snoring, and treat obstructive sleep apnea by addressing anatomical causes such as nasal blockage, enlarged tonsils, or soft palate collapse.
These procedures are recommended when:
- Snoring is loud, persistent, or socially disruptive
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is diagnosed
- CPAP therapy is not tolerated
- Structural nasal or throat obstruction is present
Dr. Muhammad Jabbr carefully evaluates the nose, soft palate, tonsils, tongue base, and airway to design a targeted surgical plan that improves breathing and sleep quality.
What Causes Snoring and Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are commonly caused by:
- Deviated nasal septum or turbinate enlargement
- Enlarged tonsils or adenoids
- Soft palate and uvula collapse
- Tongue base obstruction
- Chronic sinus or nasal blockage
Common Sleep-Disordered Breathing Conditions Treated
✔ Snoring
Evaluation and treatment of habitual snoring caused by nasal blockage, soft palate vibration, or throat narrowing.
✔ Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Surgical management of moderate to severe OSA to reduce apnea episodes and oxygen desaturation.
✔ Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS)

✔ Palatal & Throat Obstruction

How Is Sleep Apnea Diagnosed by an ENT Specialist?
Sleep apnea is diagnosed through:
- Detailed ENT examination
- Nasal and throat endoscopy

This evaluation helps determine the most effective surgical or non-surgical treatment.
