Upper airway (UA) assessment after orthognathic surgery should rely on a verified method of UA analysis. Therefore, the authors applied a new validated UA evaluation method to determine the effect of bimaxillary surgery (BMS) on UA parameters and hyoid bone and epiglottis displacement evaluated immediately and 2 years after surgery.
A retrospective cohort study was implemented of patients without obstructive sleep apnea who had undergone BMS for maxillomandibular deficiencies. A new validated UA cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) analysis, based on stable anatomic landmarks, was applied to CBCT scans acquired before initiation of treatment (T0), immediately after surgery (T1), and 2 years postoperatively (T2). A quality assessment was performed before analysis. The primary predictor variable consisted of time points during treatment (T0, T1 and T2), and UA volumes, cross-sectional area (CSA), and hyoid bone and epiglottis displacement were the outcome variables. Descriptive statistics and t test were performed and the P value was set at .05.
Fifty patients (16 men and 34 women) with a mean age of 25.7 ± 8.2 years at time of surgery were included. CBCT scans were acquired at T0 (20 ± 9 months before surgery), T1 (14 ± 2 days after surgery), and T2 (30 ± 6 months after surgery). Immediately after surgery (T1 vs T0), BMS resulted in a statistically relevant UA volume increase of 26%. At 2-year follow-up (T2 vs T0), UA volume showed a statistically relevant increase by 20%. CSA increased by approximately 26 and 19% (P < .001) at T1 versus T0 and T2 versus T0, respectively. Two years after surgery, epiglottis displacement was 2 mm (P < .001) and hyoid bone displacement was 3 mm (P < .001) in a cranial direction and hyoid bone anterior displacement measured 3 mm (P < .001).
Based on an objective, standardized, and validated CBCT UA analysis, BMS was associated with increased UA volume and CSA measures evaluated immediately and 2 years after surgery.
正颌外科手术后的上气道(UA)评估应依赖于经过验证的UA分析方法。因此,作者应用一种新的经过验证的UA评估方法,以确定双颌手术(BMS)对UA参数以及舌骨和会厌移位的影响,这些影响在术后即刻及术后2年进行评估。
对因颌骨发育不全接受BMS且无阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的患者进行一项回顾性队列研究。一种基于稳定解剖标志点、经过验证的新的UA锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)分析方法,应用于治疗开始前(T0)、术后即刻(T1)和术后2年(T2)获取的CBCT扫描图像。在分析前进行质量评估。主要预测变量包括治疗期间的时间点(T0、T1和T2),UA容积、横截面积(CSA)以及舌骨和会厌移位为结果变量。进行描述性统计和t检验,P值设定为0.05。
纳入50例患者(16例男性和34例女性),手术时平均年龄为25.7±8.2岁。在T0(术前20±9个月)、T1(术后14±2天)和T2(术后30±6个月)获取CBCT扫描图像。术后即刻(T1对比T0),BMS导致UA容积在统计学上有显著增加,增幅为26%。在2年随访时(T2对比T0),UA容积在统计学上有显著增加,增幅为20%。CSA在T1对比T0以及T2对比T0时分别增加了约26%和19%(P<0.001)。术后2年,会厌移位为2mm(P<0.00),舌骨向上移位3mm(P<0.001),舌骨向前移位3mm(P<0.001)。
基于客观、标准化且经过验证的CBCT UA分析,BMS与术后即刻及术后2年评估的UA容积增加和CSA测量值增加相关。
