A minimally invasive treatment for snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)

The Pillar® Procedure is a minimally invasive treatment option for both snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea originating from the soft palate. This procedure is office-based, requiring only a local anesthetic. During the Pillar Procedure, tiny implants are placed into the muscle of the soft palate and are specially designed to reduce the soft palates tendency to flutter during sleep and block the airway.

The Pillar Procedure takes about fifteen minutes to perform and is done in the comfort and convenience of Dr. Scotch’s office. This procedure is associated with minimal discomfort, and most patients return to work the same or following day. Dr. Scotch specializes in the pillar procedure and other techniques in treating snoring, sleep apnea, and sleep disordered breathing.
