Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of microwave ablation in treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). METHODS Eight patients with snores and 48 with OSAHS were included in the study. They all received micro-surgeries including plastic operations on the uvula and soft palate,tonsil ablation and tonsillectomy,inferior nasal concha and adenoid ablation,and de-volume of the tongue root. Symptoms six months before and after surgery were monitored by Polysomnography(PSG). RESULTS In 56 cases, the patients’ throats were widened. The mean values of the apnea hypopnea index(AHI), the lowest saturations (LSaO2) and the snoring index were significantly different before and after surgery(P
