【 摘 要 】

Objective Unilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation (uniHNS) is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. Bilateral hypoglossal nerve stimulation (biHNS) is a novel therapeutic option and a different approach to hypoglossal nerve stimulation. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical outcome of the first 10 biHNS cases vs the first 10 uniHNS cases ever implanted.
