Transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty outcomes compared with uvulopalatopharygoplasty.
OBJECTIVE Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) success rates in patients classified with Friedman stage 3 is reported as 8%. Surgical failure may result from persistent obstruction at the palate, which may be addressed by pharyngoplasty with palatal advancement (PA). The effectiveness of PA versus UPPP was evaluated by using polysomnographic outcomes in a retrospective cohort of patients classified...
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 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 کاملEfficacy 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...
