Genioglossus Advancement
Genioglossus Advancement
A surgical procedure where the tongue muscle that is attached to the lower jaw is pulled forward, making the tongue firmer and less collapsible during sleep. In this procedure, a small window of bone is made in the lower jaw, and the piece of bone along with the attachment for the tongue is pulled forward and fixed by a small screw or a plate in the external bone surface.
