Obstructive sleep apnea: variations in surgical management.

D D Caldarelli, R D Cartwright, J K Lilie

    The Laryngoscope
    |September 1, 1985

    Summary

    Submucous resection combined with palatopharyngoplasty (PPP) showed a higher success rate for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) than resection alone. Supplemental tongue retaining devices (TRD) improved outcomes in some cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Sleep Medicine
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) significantly impacts patient health and quality of life.
    • Surgical interventions aim to improve airway patency in OSA patients.
    • Submucous resection and palatopharyngoplasty (PPP) are surgical options for OSA.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of submucous resection alone versus combined with palatopharyngoplasty (PPP) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
    • To assess the effectiveness of supplemental tongue retaining devices (TRD) in patients with persistent OSA symptoms post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty OSA patients underwent surgical treatment: submucous resection alone (23 patients) or submucous resection with PPP (17 patients).
    • Sleep evaluations were performed pre- and post-surgery to assess apnea index reduction.
    • Tongue retaining devices (TRD) were used as a secondary treatment for non-responders.

    Main Results:

    • Submucous resection alone achieved a 57% success rate. Supplemental TRD improved outcomes in 50% of non-responders in this group.
    • Submucous resection combined with PPP demonstrated an 82% success rate.
    • Four out of seven patients (57%) who received TRD after combined surgery showed marked improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Palatopharyngoplasty (PPP) combined with submucous resection offers a higher success rate for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment.
    • Tongue retaining devices (TRD) can be an effective adjunctive therapy for OSA patients who do not fully respond to initial surgical procedures.
