[Our experience with geniopexy in the treatment of OSAS]
1Service de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale et Plastique, CHU Sart Tilman, Liège, Belgique.
Objective:
We examine geniopexy efficacy in OSAS treatment.
Study Design:
Seven patients, aged 36 to 61 years, were studied. The mean body mass index was normal.
Results:
Surgical late complications (modified symphysis proprioception) occurred in 4 patients. No patient was improved in sleep problems. Retromaxilly and retromandibuly were found in all patients by cephalometric study.
Discussion:
Our results are quite different from these described successfully by other centers. Geniopexy do not move maxillar and mandibular skeletal bones, which are retruded in our serie. This explains maybe our bad results. Actually, we propose for this patients maxillo-mandibular advancement.
