Summary

Midline partial glossectomy with Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty effectively treats Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS). The procedure significantly reduced apnea-hypopnea index and improved oxygen saturation in patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Sleep Medicine
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS) poses significant health risks.
  • Current OSAHS treatments have varying efficacy and patient compliance.
  • Surgical interventions are explored to improve airway patency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate the efficacy of combined midline partial glossectomy and Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) for OSAHS treatment.
  • To assess the impact of this surgical approach on key polysomnographic parameters.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 40 OSAHS patients underwent simultaneous midline partial glossectomy and UPPP.
  • Post-operative polysomnography was conducted at a 6-month follow-up.
  • Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and minimal oxygen saturation (SaO2) were primary outcome measures.

Main Results:

  • The mean AHI significantly decreased from 62.39 to 18.60 (P<0.01).
  • Mean minimal SaO2 significantly increased from 64.40% to 88.39% (P<0.01).
  • A total effective rate of 92.5% was observed, with 29 patients showing excellent results.

Conclusions:

  • Same-stage midline partial glossectomy with UPPP is a safe and effective surgical option for OSAHS.
  • This combined procedure offers substantial improvements in sleep-disordered breathing metrics.
  • The high effective rate suggests a promising therapeutic strategy for OSAHS management.
