Abstract:
Objective To investigate the therapeutic benefits of tonsillectomy combined with suspension sutures on Friedman stageⅠ obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods Forty-four pa-tients with Friedman stageⅠOSAHS diagnosed and treated from January 2014 to December 2016 were divided into experimental group with 23 patients receiving tonsillectomy combined with suspension sutures and the control group with 21 receiving modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. Apnea-hypopnea index(AHI),lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2)and Epworth Sleepiness Scale(ESS)score were compared between the groups pre- or post-operatively. Results Surgical success rate did not differ significantly between 2 groups(82.6% in the experimental group and 80.9% in the control group). Inner-group comparison indicated that AHI and ESS were significantly lower(P <0.001)while LSaO2was significantly higher after the operation(P < 0.001). There were,however,no significant differences in pre-or post-operative BMI,AHI,ESS or LSaO2between the experimental and control group(all P≥0.05).Conclusion Tonsillectomy combined with suspension sutures is effective for Friedman stageⅠOSAHS.
