Efficacy Of Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP)In Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep apnoea and is caused by obstruction of the upper airway. It is characterized by repetitive pauses in breathing during sleep, despite the effort to breathe, and is usually associated with a reduction in blood oxygen saturation. These pauses in breathing, called "apnoeas" (literally, "without breath"), typically last 20 to 40 seconds...
متن کاملUpper airway changes in snorers and mild sleep apnea sufferers after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP).
OBJECTIVES We used upper airway (UA) imaging in 20 patients to determine (1) whether an effective enlargement of the UA is obtained after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), and (2) whether UA modifications explain the results of such surgery. METHODS Cephalometric measurements were made to assess the posterior airway space, the length and width of the soft palate, and the distance between the ...
متن کاملPK UPPP flap.
Plasma knife (PK) assisted UPPP is a modification of the procedure original described by Fujita for snoring. Plasma knife is used for tonsillectomy, hemostasis and to reduce scar contracture lowering incidence of dehiscence (1%) as a result of the reduced thermal injury. Cold knife resection of uvula is limited to the anterior mucosa and any submucosal; preserving the muscularis uvulae and post...
متن کاملPalatal surgery in a transoral robotic setting (TORS): preliminary results of a retrospective comparison between uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP) and barbed repositioning pharyngoplasty (BRP)
It has become increasingly clear in the past decade that surgical management of obstructive sleep apnoea hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) is most successfully managed with multilevel surgery. We evaluated the outcomes of multilevel interventions comparing three different palatal techniques added to TORS: uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), a modified expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty (ESP), inspired b...
متن کاملA Prospective Study of the Surgical Outcome of Simple Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), UPPP Combined With Genioglossus Advancement or Tongue Base Advancement for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome Patients With Multilevel Obstruction
OBJECTIVES To investigate the surgical outcomes of different uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). METHODS All subjects underwent overnight polysomnography and were evaluated using the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), the Quebec sleep questionnaire and the snoring scale at the baseline and 3 and 12 months following operation. The primary endpoint was the overall effective rate representing the sum...
