Abstract:
Palatopharyngeal surgery is a therapeutic option for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome. This surgery is based on the assumption that the soft palate is the principal apneogenic area of the upper airway. We report a comparison of four techniques of palatopharyneal surgery. In the other hand, the effectiveness of palatopharyngeal surgery for correcting other obstructions when present, was also evaluated.
