Drug‐Induced Sleep Endoscopy vs Awake Müller’s Maneuver in the Diagnosis of Severe Upper Airway Obstruction

Abstract

This study shows a significant difference between FNMM and DISE in the identification of severe retrolingual collapse. Since the effectiveness of surgical interventions depends largely on the accurate preoperative identification of the site of obstruction, further scrutiny of each diagnostic endoscopic technique is warranted.
