[Surgical treatment for the recurrent patients after palatopharyngoplasty]
1Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Second Medical University, Shanghai 200025.
Objective:
To study the surgical treatment for the recurrent patients after palatopharyngoplasty (PPP).
Method:
Five patients which were confirmed recurrence by sleep survey and examinations were reported.
Result:
The pharyngeal cavity was narrower obviously ten months after ppp than before ppp. The anteroposterior and transverse distances were (4.06 +/- 2.94) mm and (11.40 +/- 4.16) mm respectively. After dilatation, the distances were (11.90 +/- 3.25) mm and (21.00 +/- 4.18) mm separately, and were increased significantly than before (P < 0.01). Two patients were cured and three cases marked, and all patients were not recurrent post-operation with no complications.
Conclusion:
The recurrence was mainly concerned with the unsuitable manipulation in PPP. Selecting the cooperation and proper surgical treatment, the better effect was also obtained for the recurrent patients.
