RaVoR™ of the tongue base
Radiofrequency Volume Reduction (RaVoR™) of the tongue base is today the only minimally invasive surgical treatment option for obstructions at that level.
Tongue-base reduction is usually combined with conservative treatments (CPAP) or other surgical interventions (multi-level). RaVoR™ of the tongue base is performed under general anesthesia and patients remain under supervision for at least one night.
The re-usable RaVoR™ probes are highly cost-effective. The probes can be machine-washed and autoclaved, just like conventional instruments.
