The objective of this study is to show which procedures can be done well as their indications. STUDY DESIGN: Clinical retrospective. METHOD: 223 patients with OSAHS were studied in Otolaryngology Department of UNIFESP. Every patient had a previous polissonography, and they were analyzed and treatment options were proposed.

RESULT: 100 patients (44,8%) had surgery indication, and 168 procedures were proposed. The majority uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and radiofrequency of the soft palate were indicated in mild and moderate OSAHS cases and maxillomandibular surgery were indicated in severe cases. Tonsillectomy and rhinosurgery were indicated independently of OSAHS severity. CONCLUSION: The otolaryngological surgery is an option in OSAHS treatment, and your indication depends on OSAHS severity.
