OBJECTIVE
Uvulopalatoplasty, performed with high-frequency radio waves, was evaluated as a treatment for social snoring.
METHODS
Forty male social snorers were included in this prospective, nonrandomized study. Patients' subjective complaints before, during, and 3 months after radio-assisted uvulopalatoplasty were recorded on a visual analogue scale.
RESULTS
Complications were negligible. Snoring sounds and daytime tiredness reduced significantly. Considering effect and suffering during and after surgery, a high number of patients (93%) were willing to undergo the procedure again if necessary.
CONCLUSIONS
The results of radio-assisted uvulopalatoplasty (RAUP) seem to be similar to other surgical methods used to reduce snoring. The relative small investments needed and its simplicity makes RAUP a good alternative to known treatment strategies.
目的
评估高频电波悬雍垂腭成形术治疗习惯性打鼾的效果。
方法
本前瞻性、非随机研究纳入了40名男性习惯性打鼾者。通过视觉模拟评分记录患者在电波辅助悬雍垂腭成形术前、术中及术后3个月的主观症状。
结果
并发症可忽略不计。打鼾声和日间疲劳感显著减轻。考虑到手术期间及术后的效果和痛苦，大量患者（93%）表示如有必要愿意再次接受该手术。
结论
电波辅助悬雍垂腭成形术（RAUP）的效果似乎与其他用于减轻打鼾的手术方法相似。所需相对较小的投入及其简便性使RAUP成为已知治疗策略的一个良好替代方案。
