The aim of this study was to determine the result of partial resection of the soft palate (SPR) as a treatment of the obstructive apnea syndrome during sleep (OASS).
Fifty-seven patients diagnosed of OASS treated with SPR were studied. The clinical and polysomnographic results prior to surgery and after 6 months were compared.
Prior to SPR the 57 patients had a mean index of apnea plus hypopnea per hour of 57 (IAH) and following surgery the same was of 19.2 (p < 0.0001). IAH improved more than 50% in 42 patients (74%), 30 of whom were cured (IAH < or = 10). Daily hypersomnia and snoring disappeared in 58% of the patients and decreased in intensity in most of the remaining cases. The secondary effects observed following SPR were: rhinolalia, nasal fluid reflux, and oropharyngeal disturbances, being present in 32 patients (56%) and permanent, although slight, in only 13 (23%).
Soft palate resection is a good surgical procedure for therapy of obstructive apnea during sleep, with only slight secondary effects.
本研究旨在确定软腭部分切除术(SPR)治疗睡眠中阻塞性呼吸暂停综合征(OASS)的效果。
对57例接受SPR治疗的OASS患者进行研究。比较手术前及术后6个月的临床和多导睡眠图结果。
SPR手术前,57例患者每小时的平均呼吸暂停加低通气指数(IAH)为57,术后为19.2(p < 0.0001)。42例患者(74%)的IAH改善超过50%,其中30例治愈(IAH≤10)。58%的患者每日的嗜睡和打鼾症状消失,其余大多数患者症状强度减轻。SPR术后观察到的次要影响有:鼻音、鼻液反流和口咽不适,32例患者(56%)出现这些症状,仅13例(23%)症状持续存在,不过症状较轻。
软腭切除术是治疗睡眠中阻塞性呼吸暂停的一种良好手术方法,次要影响轻微。
