Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) with hyoid suspension for patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
METHOD:Thirty-eight OSAHS patients underwent UPPP with hyoid suspension. Review the sleep monitoring after 6 months and 1 year and compare the AHI, LSaO 2 and ESS score.
RESULT:The average AHI decreased, and blood oxygen saturation increased significantly afer operation.
CONCLUSION:UPPP with hyoid suspension is an available and relatively safe surgical approach in OSAHS patients.
