Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator Explantation: A Case Series
OTO Open, 2022 Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HGNS) has emerged as a successful surgical treatment strategy for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea in patients failing first‐line positive airway pressure therapy. HGNS explantation due to adverse events such as pain and infection is rare and has yet to be well described.
