Summary
This study tested a personalized surgical approach for children aged 2-18 with obstructive sleep apnea who have small tonsils or Down syndrome. Instead of the standard tonsil and adenoid removal, doctors used a sleep endoscopy to tailor the surgery to each child's specific airway blockages. The goal was to see if this personalized method improves sleep, quality of life, and reduces the need for repeat surgeries.
