•Patients with obstructive sleep apnea in need of therapy according to the above criteria of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) are included. The patients are aware of their illness and agree to participate in the study and to carry out the surgical procedure and were informed about its risks, complications and alternatives, usually as part of an outpatient stay and at least as part of the pre-hospital admission. The information about the study and the consent to participate in it takes place either as part of the inpatient admission or already as part of the outpatient, sleep medical consultation.

•Patients with a body mass index over 34 kg / m² will be excluded from participating in the study, as surgical therapy methods for reducing obstructive sleep apnea have proven to be ineffective. Likewise, patients with a history of head and neck cancer, previous surgical interventions on the soft palate or tonsils, or pure rhonchopathy (without additional obstructive sleep apnea) are excluded. Serious malformations in the midface such as cleft lip and palate also lead to non-inclusion in the study
