Eleven patients with habitual snoring and fifteen patients with mild to moderate OSAHS accepted temperature- controlled bipolar radiofrequency(RF)ablation in both tonsils.RESULTS The postoperative examination was performed after 6 months.Pillar palatal implant: snoring VAS was reduced from 6.9?0.68 preoperatively to 3.8?0.54 postoperatively in 4 patients with habitual snoring,snoring VAS was down from 9.2?1.21 to 3.1?0.52 in 2 patients with mild to moderate OSAHS.Seven of 11 cases with habitual snoring were cured by RF,and 2 cases were effective,the other 2 cases were failed. Ten of fifteen cases with mild to moderate OSAHS were cured,3 cases were effective,and 2 cases were failed. The effective rate was 84.6%(22/26).CONCLUSION 1.The pillar palatal implant system is a safe method for patients with simple snoring and mild OSAHS in a short time observation.2.Temperature-controlled bipolar radiofrequency ablation is effective for mild to moderate OSAHS duo to hypertrophy of the tonsils.3.According to the clinical characteristics of the patients to select suitable method is the key to get a satisfactory curative effect.
