An Effective and Safe Technique for Selected Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
Main Outcome Measures: Postoperative pain was evaluated using a visual analog scale. Before surgery and at 6 months after surgery, subjective outcomes were assessed using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the snoring scale, and objective outcomes were assessed using overnight polysomnography variables (RDI, snoring index, and minimal oxygen saturation). Surgical success was defined as achieving a postoperative RDI score of fewer than 20 events per hour and a greater than 50% reduction in the preoperative RDI score.
