title: [Surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome by osteotomy of the facial skeleton].
abstract: At the Philipps-University Marburg 14 patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) have so far been successfully treated by surgical maxillo-mandibular advancement. These results clearly indicate that surgical treatment and cure of OSAS by maxillo-mandibular osteotomy is possible in case of an appropriate indication.
