Comparison of laser-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty to electrocautery-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty: a clinical and pathologic correlation in an animal model.
OBJECTIVE To determine if there are any pathologic or technical differences between laser-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (LAUP) and electrocautery-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (EAUP). DESIGN A prospective randomized in vivo trial in an appropriate animal species. RESULTS We found no gross difference in healing between the palates treated with laser and those treated with high-freq...
متن کاملUvulopalatopharyngoplasty outcome assessment with quantitative computer-assisted videoendoscopic airway analysis.
CONCLUSION Quantitative digital imaging upper airway analysis enables surgeons to assess the pre- and postoperative upper airway morphology quantitatively, objectively and accurately, and to correlate these changes in surgical parameters with improvement of obstructive sleep apnea. OBJECTIVE This was a prospective study using a new method of quantitative computer-assisted digital-imaging vide...
متن کاملEfficiency of radiofrequency assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in the treatment of snoring.
Snoring is an acoustic phenomenon, which is a consequence of vibrations of the soft tissue caused by partial obstruction of the upper breathing pathway while sleeping. It is estimated that 20% of men and 5% of women between 30 and 35 years of age snore and this rate increases to 50% of men and 30% of women over 60 years of age. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of radiofreque...
متن کاملSpeech status following uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of speech following uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery. Twenty UPPP subjects, all of whom exhibited obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, and 15 non-UPPP control subjects participated in the study. Evaluation included measures of nasal airflow, speech recordings with listener judgments, and a questionnaire survey. Nasal resonance in the UPPP sub...
متن کاملLaser-Assisted Microdissection
When analyzing alcohol's effects on the brain, researchers often want to look at small clusters of cells that can be studied in isolation from the surrounding brain tissue rather than at the entire brain or larger brain areas. This implies that relatively small numbers of cells have to be retrieved from the brain and studied in culture or subjected to biochemical analyses. The challenge then be...
