Snoring Stops After Outpatient Sleep Surgery at Duke
Within a year of his 2019 wedding, Derek Saccoccio found himself sleeping alone in his home office thanks to his loud snoring. When other efforts failed to curb his snoring, Duke Health’s Emily Commesso, MD, a specially trained sleep surgeon, shortened Saccoccio’s uvula -- the punching-bag shaped structure that hangs in the back of the mouth -- during an outpatient procedure. Six weeks later, Saccoccio snoring was gone, and he moved back into his bedroom. “The biggest benefit is being able to turn over in bed and see that your wife is right there beside you.”
