METHOD:Thirty-five cases operated by H-UPPP and 29 cases by plasma-assisted H-UPPP, 6-36 months followed-up, the effectiveness analyzed and compared.
RESULT:The difference of polysomnogram results between preoperative and postoperative in the two operation procedures were significantly(P < 0.05). But the total effectiveness of H-UPPP and plasma-assisted H-UPPP procedures were found to be similar (P > 0.05), nevertheless plasma-assisted H-UPPP procedure has a higher curing and excellence rate (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION:The two operation procedures were in effect, the plasma-assisted H-UPPP procedure was more ascendant in extending the left and right diameter on pharyngeal cavity, increasing tension on soft palate.
