This article reviews the assessment and treatment options for both 'simple snorers' and those with obstructive sleep apnoea. Accurate assessment of all snorers is essential for optimal outcome and new surgical techniques now provide good symptom relief while maintaining normal palatal anatomy. The need for involvement of both respiratory physicians and otolaryngologists in the patient's care is emphasised.
