Does DISE increase the success rate of surgery for obstructive sleep apnea in children? A systematic review of DISE directed treatment of children with OSAS.

DISE directed surgery has been shown to change the surgical approach when treating children with OSA. If this can be transferred into a better outcome compared to standard surgical treatment is unknown, due to the current poor level of evidence. To decide whether or not DISE should be included in the treatment of children with OSA, we suggest further data, preferably an RCT, to increase the level of evidence.
