Surgery for pediatric sleep apnea.
Sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) in children are caused by a diverse group of anatomic and physiologic pathologies. These disorders share a common clinical presentation as stertor or sonorous breathing, occasionally accompanied by apneic events of variable duration. Successful management depends on accurate identification of the site of obstruction and the severity of obstruction. Inter...
متن کاملOutcomes for multilevel surgery for sleep apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea, transoral robotic surgery, and uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study evaluates the outcomes of multilevel surgery for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who underwent transoral robotic surgery (TORS) (i.e., posterior glossectomy and limited lateral pharyngectomy) with uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). STUDY DESIGN Prospective, nonrandomized trial with historical controls. METHODS All patients underwent pre- and posto...
متن کاملPharyngeal surgery and epidemiology in sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) occurs frequently among adults and children. The fi rst-line treatments in adults are continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or mandibular retaining devices (MRDs), but the long-term effi cacy is only around 60%. Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) has been criticized for lack of effi cacy and a high degree of complications. In children the fi rst-line t...
متن کاملObstructive Sleep Apnea, Anesthesia, and Ambulatory Surgery
There are 3 different pharynxes (Figure 1). The nasopharynx, or velopharynx, is the airspace posterior to all of the soft palate; the oropharynx is the airspace posterior to the tip of the uvula to the tip of the epiglottis; and the laryngopharynx, or hypopharynx, is the airspace posterior to the tip of the epiglottis to the vocal cords. The adult human is one of only a few animals to have a sp...
متن کاملContemporary Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) has been available in some form for greater than three decades. Early management for airway obstruction during sleep relied on tracheotomy which although life saving was not well accepted by patients. In the early eighties two new forms of treatment for OSAS were developed. Surgically a technique described as a uvulopalatopharyngopla...
