Adenoidectomy, Tonsillectomy, And Uvulectomy
Enlarged adenoids and tonsils are common in children and are major causes of snoring, sleep apnea, recurrent throat infections and ear problems. Dr. Kayem performs adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy to remove swollen tissues, often on an outpatient basis, providing relief from snoring, sleep apnea and recurrent pain. Each procedure typically lasts about 15 minutes, and patients go home the same day. Uvulectomy, which removes the uvula, may reduce snoring when the uvula causes obstructions; however, it is not a universal solution. Dr. Kayem does not perform laser tonsillectomy because studies show it adds cost and operating time without improving recovery
Benefits:
- • Removes the tissue causing snoring and sleep apnea, improving breathing and sleep quality
- • Brief procedures (about 15 minutes) with same‑day discharge
- • Helps prevent recurrent throat infections and ear problems
- • Traditional tonsillectomy is preferred over laser tonsillectomy due to lower cost and fewer complications
- • Uvulectomy may reduce snoring when uvula vibration is the cause
Balloon Sinuplasty
Balloon sinus dilation—often called balloon sinuplasty—is a minimally invasive treatment for chronic sinusitis. It is performed in the office without general anesthesia, so patients can resume normal activities immediately. The doctor inserts a small balloon into the blocked sinus passage and inflates it to widen the passageway, allowing better drainage. Dr. Kayem notes that the procedure has a success rate of over 90%, offers instant relief, and can replace traditional sinus surgery for many patients. Balloon sinuplasty is FDA‑approved and is often covered by insurance
Benefits:
- Simple in‑office procedure that avoids hospital‑based sinus surgery
- Minimal or no downtime with painless recovery
- Replaces the need for functional endoscopic sinus surgery in many cases
- Covered by most insurance plans
- Highly effective; success rate > 90 %
Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) uses fiber‑optic endoscopes and computed tomography to remove diseased tissue from the sinuses. This technique is far less invasive than older sinus surgeries; instruments are passed through the nostrils, minimizing tissue removal and allowing for faster healing. FESS provides relief for chronic sinus infections and sinusitis when medical therapy or balloon sinuplasty fails. Dr. Kayem performs FESS under anesthesia, often as an outpatient procedure. Postoperative care includes avoiding nose blowing and returning for follow-ups. The procedure has an 80–90 % success rate
Benefits:
- • Minimally invasive surgery with reduced discomfort and faster healing
- • Precise removal of diseased tissue using fiber‑optic endoscopes
- • Outpatient procedure; often performed under local anesthesia
- • High success rate (80–90 %) and improved nasal breathing and sense of smell
- • Alternatives (medical therapy or balloon sinuplasty) are always considered first
Palatal Radiofrequency Tissue Ablation (Somnoplasty)
Radiofrequency tissue ablation of the soft palate—also known as somnoplasty or soft‑palate coblation—uses low‑power, low‑temperature radiofrequency energy to stiffen the soft palate and reduce snoring and mild sleep apnea. A specially designed needle tip wand delivers RF energy beneath the mucosal layers of the palate, causing controlled scar formation that stiffens the tissue. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes less than 20 minutes. Multiple treatments (usually 2–4) spaced about a month apart may be needed for optimal results. Recovery is usually painless; swelling may initially increase snoring, but significant reduction is seen within 4–6 weeks
Benefits:
- • Minimally invasive soft‑palate procedure performed under local anesthesia
- • Quick (under 20 minutes) with minimal discomfort and no hospital stay
- • Effective for reducing snoring and mild sleep apnea
- • Low‑temperature RF energy minimizes tissue damage
- • Recovery is generally painless; snoring reduction becomes noticeable within 4–6 weeks
Septoplasty
Septoplasty corrects a deviated nasal septum by straightening or removing portions of bone or cartilage. A crooked septum can lead to chronic sinus infections, sleep apnea, nosebleeds, headaches, and breathing difficulties. Septoplasty opens the nasal passageways, reduces the risk of sinus infections, and helps control nosebleeds. The surgery is performed through the nostrils (no external incisions), typically under general anesthesia, and usually takes less than an hour. Recovery typically lasts 3–7 days, and septoplasty may be combined with turbinate reduction for optimal results
Benefits:
- • Opens nasal passageways, improving breathing
- • Greatly reduces sinus infections and sleep‑apnea symptoms
- • Controls nosebleeds and decreases headaches related to nasal obstruction
- • Performed through the nostrils with no external incisions; recovery is relatively quick (3–7 days)
- • Can improve vocal resonance due to better nasal airflow
Sinusitis Treatment
- Treatment aims to address and manage medical conditions or symptoms. - Various methods can be used, including medication, therapy, surgery, or lifestyle changes. - The specific approach depends on the nature and severity of the condition. - Treatment plans should be personalized for optimal effectiveness. - Collaboration between healthcare providers and patients is crucial for successful outcomes. - Regular monitoring and adjustments may be necessary to ensure continued efficacy.
Benefits:
- Treatment by a sinus doctor (ENT) can significantly improve the quality of life for people suffering from sinusitis
- Dr. Marc Kayem specializes in treating chronic sinusitis in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, offering tailored treatment plans.
- Balloon sinuplasty is a non-invasive option with over a 90% success rate, providing quick relief in a single office visit.
- Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is available for complex cases.
- Dr. Kayem emphasizes minimal discomfort and optimal results in his treatment approach.
SnorEx Treatment
SnorEx® is a patented non‑surgical snoring treatment developed by Dr. Kayem. The procedure stiffens the soft palate and elevates the uvula with an injection and a suture, eliminating the vibration that causes snoring. Unlike traditional snoring surgeries, there are no incisions; patients experience minimal discomfort and no downtime. SnorEx® is similar to injection snoreplasty but uses a different injection and suture technique. Because it does not rely on permanent implants (unlike the discontinued Pillar procedure), there is no risk of extrusion. Dr. Kayem developed this patent‑pending procedure after 25 years as an ENT doctor, and he is currently the only provider
Benefits:
- • Non‑invasive snoring solution with no incisions or implants
- • Quick office visit with minimal discomfort and no downtime
- • Long‑lasting relief by stiffening the soft palate and raising the uvula
- • Eliminates the 5 % extrusion risk associated with the older Pillar procedure
- • Patent‑pending treatment available exclusively from Dr. Kayem
Tongue Radiofrequency Surgery
Tongue radiofrequency surgery—also called radiofrequency ablation (RFA), tongue coblation or the VOAT (Ventral‑Only Ablation of Tongue) procedure—is used to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea caused by the tongue collapsing into the airway during sleep. An ENT first examines the back of the tongue with a flexible endoscope. During the procedure, a needle‑tip wand delivers low‑power radiofrequency energy to the base of the tongue, causing targeted tissue to scar and contract; this widens the airway and reduces obstruction. The procedure is performed in the office, under general anesthesia, and only takes a few minutes. Improvement is generally seen within 4–6 weeks as scar tissue tightens. Research links tongue size and fat content to sleep apnea, making radiofrequency tongue ablation a useful option for certain patients
Benefits:
- • Minimally invasive treatment for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
- • Quick procedure (minutes) performed in the office
- • Low‑power RF energy contracts tongue tissue to enlarge the airway
- • Improvement seen within 4–6 weeks
- • Potential alternative to CPAP machines for select patients
Turbinate Reduction Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency turbinate reduction treats nasal turbinate hypertrophy—enlarged tissues inside the nose that cause chronic nasal obstruction, mouth breathing and snoring. The minimally invasive surgery uses a low‑power, temperature‑controlled radiofrequency wand inserted into each turbinate to shrink excess tissue. It is performed under local anesthesia in less than 20 minutes and provides a long‑term solution compared with decongestant sprays, which can cause rebound congestion and tissue damage if used long term. As the treated tissue is reabsorbed, the turbinates shrink, restoring normal nasal airflow and reducing snoring
Benefits:
- • Minimally invasive procedure with local anesthesia and quick recovery
- • Fast relief of nasal obstruction and snoring; long‑term solution without rebound congestion
- • Quick procedure (< 20 minutes) with mild discomfort managed by over‑the‑counter medication
- • Restores normal nasal breathing and reduces mouth breathing
- • Reduces or eliminates dependence on decongestant sprays and helps treat chronic sinus inflammation
