Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(UPPP) by using radio frequency plasma on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) with Velopharyngeal obstruction.Method:Eighty-one cases that were diagnosed as OSAHS with Velopharyngeal obstruction were randomized into two groups, UPPP group and radio frequency plasma Velopharynoplasty group. Result:Six months after operation, the effects in both groups were similar.Conclusion:Radio frequency plasma Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is safe, time saving, less hemorrhage with good effects.
