To investigate the morphological changes of the upper airway palatepharyngeal plane after modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(H-UPPP) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) and efficacy of the surgery. Thirty-six patients diagnosed as moderate to severe OSAHS in the Central Hospital of Wuhan from January 2016 to September 2019 were treated with H-UPPP. PSG and 64 slice spiral CT were performed before operation, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after operation to evaluate the changes of AHI, LSaO₂, CT90, BMI and the minimum anterior and posterior axis diameter, left and right axis diameter and cross-sectional volume of velopharyngeal plane, respectively. The AHI, LSaO₂, CT90, BMI were significantly improved, while the minimum anterior posterior axis diameter, left and right axis diameter and cross-sectional volume of velopharyngeal plane were enlarged in the maximum extent at one month after operation. The alteration of left and right axis diameter could be maintained until half a year after operation, but gradually retracted after 1 year after operation. The improvement of anterior and posterior axis diameter can only be maintained until 3 months after operation, and return to the preoperative level 2 years after operation; The minimum cross-sectional area improved significantly at 1 month after operation and decreased after 3 months, but there was still a significant improvement at 2 years after operation(<0.05). The change of AHI was similar to that of the minimum cross-sectional area, and there was still a significant difference at 2 years after operation(<0.001); The improvement of LSaO₂ was the most significant at 1 month after operation, which could be maintained until 3 months after operation, and then gradually recovered. The improvement of CT90 could be maintained until half a year after operation, and decreased significantly at 1 year after operation. BMI was still better than that before operation at 1 year after operation, but returned to the preoperative level at 2 years after operation. The improvement of AHI was mainly related to the minimum anterior posterior axis diameter and cross-sectional area of velopharyngeal plane, but not to the left and right axis diameters. The morphological changes of upper airway in patients with OSAHS after H-UPPP are mainly the improvement of anterior posterior diameter, left and right diameter and minimum cross-sectional area caused by removing the anatomical load of upper airway within 3 months after operation, but the reduction of anterior posterior diameter and minimum cross-sectional area gradually occurs after 3 months, resulting in the weakening of surgical effect.
探讨改良悬雍垂腭咽成形术(H-UPPP)治疗阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气综合征(OSAHS)患者后上气道腭咽平面的形态学变化及手术疗效。选取2016年1月至2019年9月在武汉市中心医院确诊为中重度OSAHS的36例患者行H-UPPP治疗。分别于术前、术后1个月、3个月、6个月、1年及2年行多导睡眠监测(PSG)及64排螺旋CT检查,评估睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数(AHI)、最低血氧饱和度(LSaO₂)、阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停低通气指数(CT90)、体重指数(BMI)以及腭咽平面最小前后径、左右径和截面积的变化。术后1个月时AHI、LSaO₂、CT90、BMI显著改善,腭咽平面最小前后径、左右径和截面积增大至最大程度。左右径的改变可持续至术后半年,但术后1年逐渐回缩。前后径的改善仅能维持至术后3个月,术后2年恢复至术前水平;最小截面积术后1个月显著改善,3个月后减小,但术后2年仍有显著改善(<0.05)。AHI的变化与最小截面积相似,术后2年仍有显著差异(<0.001);LSaO₂术后1个月改善最显著,可维持至术后3个月,随后逐渐恢复。CT90的改善可维持至术后半年,术后1年显著下降。BMI术后1年仍优于术前,但术后2年恢复至术前水平。AHI的改善主要与腭咽平面最小前后径和截面积有关,与左右径无关。OSAHS患者H-UPPP术后上气道形态学变化主要是术后3个月内通过解除上气道解剖负荷使前后径、左右径及最小截面积增大,但3个月后前后径及最小截面积逐渐减小,导致手术效果减弱。
