combined transoral robotic tongue base surgery and palate surgery in obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty versus Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
Head and Neck-journal for The Sciences and Specialties of The Head and Neck, 2014Co-Authors: Claudio Vicini, Filippo Montevecchi, Kenny P Pang, Ahmed Bahgat, Iacopo Dallan, S Frassineti, A CampaniniAbstract:Background Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome is a relatively young technique principally devised for managing apneas in the tongue base (TB) area and supraglottic larynx. This procedure is included in the so-called “multilevel surgery” often including a palatal and nasal surgery. Methods We carried out a retrospective analysis in order to understand in detail the relative impact on apneas of the 2 different procedures carried out in the palate area (expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty and Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty). We evaluated 2 groups, each of 12 cases, which were sorted according to the primary selection criteria of statistically comparable preoperative apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and volume of removed TB tissue. Results Postoperative AHI registered was of 9.9 ± 8.6 SD for the expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty group and 19.8 ± 14.1 SD for the Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty group. Conclusion As the palate component of our multilevel procedure, expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty, including conventional nose surgery and robotic surgery, seems to be superior to Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
