Twenty-three adults with moderate to severe sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) and positive ENT obstructive findings were treated by either tonsillectomy or by submucosal resection (SMR). Fourteen of the 23 patients (60.8%), 5 of the 7 who underwent tonsillectomy and 9 of the 16 treated by SMR, reported on a clinical improvement in the quality of their nocturnal sleep and diurnal hypersomnolence. Post-treatment polyhypnographic recordings in all responding patients disclosed significantly less apneas and waking within sleep.
23名患有中度至重度睡眠呼吸暂停综合征（SAS）且耳鼻喉检查有阻塞性阳性发现的成年人接受了扁桃体切除术或黏膜下切除术（SMR）治疗。23名患者中的14名（60.8%），即接受扁桃体切除术的7名患者中的5名以及接受SMR治疗的16名患者中的9名，报告夜间睡眠质量和日间嗜睡情况有临床改善。所有有反应的患者治疗后的多导睡眠图记录显示呼吸暂停和睡眠中觉醒显著减少。
