[Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and hyoid suspension for obstructive sleep apnea hyponea syndrome]
Objective:
The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) with hyoid suspension for patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS).
Method:
Thirty-eight OSAHS patients underwent UPPP with hyoid suspension. Review the sleep monitoring after 6 months and 1 year and compare the AHI, LSaO 2 and ESS score.
Result:
The average AHI decreased, and blood oxygen saturation increased significantly afer operation.
Conclusion:
UPPP with hyoid suspension is an available and relatively safe surgical approach in OSAHS patients.
