چکیده
Objective: To investigate the curative effect of the plasma low-temperature radiofrequency ablation (RFA) on ineffective obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). Method: 39 cases of OSAHS which were ineffective after UPPP were chosen to accept RFA. Preoperative apnea hypopnea index (AHI), lowest saturation of blood oxygen (LSaO2), snoring scale and Epworth sleepiness scale were compared with those post-operatives to value the curative effect of RFA. Result: The effective ratio was 53.8%. In 8 weeks after treatment, epworth sleepiness scale decreased much significantly (<0.01), and there was no difference on snoring scale. In 6 months after operation, lowest saturation of blood oxygen(LSaO2) improved significantly (P<0.05). In addition, apnea hypopnea index (AHI) decreased significantly (<0.05). Conclusion: RFA is an effective remediation treatment to ineffective OSAHS after UPPP. [Dong Y, Liu P, Liu S, Xu H.
