Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the prospective effect of applying midline partial glossectomy with Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in the treatment of OSAHS.
METHOD:The data of 40 patients with OSAHS operated with midline partial glossectomy with UPPP were analyzed.
RESULT:The follow-up polysomnography (6-month follow-up) revealed that the mean apnea and hypopnea index decreased from 62.39+/-21.68 to 18.60+/-5.01 (P<0.01), and the mean minimal oxygen saturation (SaO2) increased from 64.40%+/-14.96% to 88.39%+/-9.21% (P<0.01). In general, 29 patients were with excellent curative effect, 8 with good effect, and 3 with bad effect. Total effective rate was 92.5%.
CONCLUSION:The study confirms that the same-stage midline partial glossectomy with UPPP for OSAHS is a safe and effective procedure.
