Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of multi-plane operations in treating obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
METHOD:One hundred and fifteen patients with OSAHS diagnosed by polysomnography were treated with uvuplopalatopharyngoplasty. Eighteen of them were treated combining with nasal septal construction. Twenty six patients also received nasal septal construction and partial inferior turbinectomy. One patients also received Genioglossus advancement and partial resection of corpus linguae. Five patients also received partial resection of corpus linguae. Some patients with the nasal disease and/or the lingual hypertrophy; AHI > 40 and/or BMI > 30 are received tracheotomy before general anaesthesia.
RESULT:According to the postoperative follow-up 43 patients, were cured, 46 patients were improved, 26 patients were invalid, the effective power was 77.4%.
CONCLUSION:The operative effective power were increased by multi-plane operations in OSAHS patients. The serious complication were prevented through tracheotomy before general anaesthesia in multi-plane operations of severe OSAHS.
