The Evolution of Sleep Surgery: From Tracheotomy to Precision Medicine
Join host Rahul K. Shah, MD, MBA, AAO-HNS EVP and CEO, for a historic conversation with two pioneers of surgical sleep medicine, Kathleen Yaremchuk, MD, MSA and B. Tucker Woodson, MD. Both were at Henry Ford Health in the early 1980s—the epicenter of American surgical sleep medicine—where they witnessed the birth of modern sleep apnea treatment.
In this episode, discover how sleep apnea went from an unrecognized condition treated only with tracheotomy to a field with multiple treatment modalities. Dr. Yaremchuk and Dr. Woodson share firsthand accounts of working with Dr. Shiro Fujita as he adapted a Japanese snoring procedure into the groundbreaking UPPP surgery, trace the evolution from skeletal and soft tissue surgeries to neuromodulation with Inspire therapy, and discuss the newest frontier: pharmaceutical treatments including GLP-1 medications.
This conversation spans four decades of innovation and offers a rare glimpse into the future of otolaryngology’s continued role in sleep medicine.
