Sleep Apnea Treatment in MML Medical Center
About the clinic
Sleep apnea care at MML Medical Center in Warsaw, Poland, includes testing and treatments for airway blockage. An ENT consultation may cost around $100, DISE around $1,100, Celon palate treatment around $1,000, and combined palate and turbinate treatment around $1,400. Founded by Dr. Michał Michalik, the center was Poland’s first snoring treatment center.
Sleep apnea diagnostics
Testing can help identify where airflow is blocked and what may contribute to sleep-disordered breathing.
- ENT consultation: Adult and pediatric visits are available.
- Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE): Performed under sedation, this exam checks the airway during simulated sleep. The listed price includes an ENT consultation.
- Polysomnography: A sleep study used to assess breathing during sleep.
- Airway and nose exams: Fiberoptic examination checks the tonsils and adenoid. Computerized rhinomanometry measures nasal airflow.
- Imaging: 3D CT scans assess the facial skeleton and upper airways. A lateral cephalometric X-ray can help assess malocclusion.
- Allergy work-up: Skin prick tests and total and specific IgE tests assess rhinitis linked to sleep disorders.
Sleep apnea treatments
Celon coblation uses bipolar radiofrequency energy to treat selected airway tissue under local anesthesia. A soft-palate procedure takes 20–40 minutes, and patients return home the same day. Daily activities can resume after about an hour; mild discomfort may last 2–4 days, with healing over 4–5 weeks.
- Celon soft-palate coblation: An outpatient option for snoring and sleep apnea. It may cost around $1,000.
- Combined Celon treatment: Treats the soft palate and nasal turbinates in one session. It may cost around $1,400.
- Celon turbinate correction: Radiofrequency, coblation, or diode laser treatment reduces enlarged nasal turbinates. It may cost around $700.
- Palatal and pharyngeal implants: Implants correct selected soft-palate and throat problems.
- Repose THS: This implant procedure suspends the tongue base. Dr. Michalik is the only physician in Poland performing it.
- Septoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS): These procedures address a deviated septum, polyps, or sinus disease contributing to blockage.
- Tonsil and adenoid surgery: Tonsillotomy, tonsillectomy, or adenotomy can address obstruction, including in children. Tools include diode laser, Celon RFITT, and harmonic scalpel.
- Orthognathic treatment: ENT care, jaw surgery, or both may be considered when malocclusion affects sleep breathing.
- Dietary coaching: Support for weight management is available when weight contributes to apnea.
The center has two operating rooms, 11 inpatient beds, and a day-surgery model. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.

MML Medical Center: more details about the clinic
Medical Specialties and Surgical Expertise
The clinic focuses on procedure-based surgical specialties and diagnostics. Its surgical team includes 15 doctors working across several departments.
Otorhinolaryngology (ENT)
ENT specialists treat diseases of the ears, nose, throat, and larynx. The department leads in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) performed through the nostrils. Dr. Michał Michalik, a pioneer in the field, introduced balloon sinuplasty to the clinic.
For tonsil or adenoid issues, the clinic uses several methods:
- Diode laser for precise tissue reduction
- Celon bipolar RFITT thermoablation for snoring and apnea
- Harmonic scalpel to minimize bleeding during surgery
The clinic also offers balloon sinuplasty (Balonoplastyka). This method uses flexible catheters to clear blocked sinuses without incisions. Surgeons also correct deviated septums and remove polyps causing nasal congestion.
Ophthalmology and Diagnostics
The ophthalmology department performs phacoemulsification for cataract treatment. Ultrasound breaks up the cloudy lens, which is then replaced with an intraocular implant. If cloudiness develops after surgery, posterior laser capsulotomy can restore clear vision.
Diagnostic tests support these treatments:
- Gonioscopy for glaucoma assessment
- Videonystagmography for balance disorders
- Tonal and impedance audiometry for hearing loss
- Computerized rhinomanometry for nasal airway testing
Specialists also manage chronic sinusitis linked to allergies. Testing includes skin prick tests and IgE antibody screenings.
Breast Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine
The breast surgery program offers oncoplastic tumor removal and risk-reducing mastectomies. Reconstruction options include implants, expanders, or LD flaps using tissue from the back. Surgeons also restore breast symmetry and reconstruct the nipple-areola complex.
Aesthetic medicine focuses on non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Marcin Repetowski performs botulinum therapy and wrinkle filling. These treatments target forehead lines and crow's feet.
Advanced Diagnostic Laboratory
The center runs a full-profile laboratory to support surgical planning. This means patients get accurate pre-treatment assessments in one location. Services include:
- Microbiological and bacteriological testing
- Histopathological analysis of tissue samples
- Tumor marker screenings
- Advanced sinus microbiome studies using nanopore sequencing
The clinic also participates in research to improve sinus treatment outcomes.
Services for International Patients
MML Medical Center operates within the Medicover network. This partnership enables collaboration with Medicover Hospital in Warsaw Wilanów for expanded care. Patients who need overnight medical supervision can stay at the clinic's ward. Staff monitor recovery and confirm readiness before discharge. The center's personnel speak Polish and English.
