Abstract

Objectives: In this study we evaluated the results ofmodified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in patients withsnoring and obsructive sleep apnea syndrome. Patients and Methods: Twenty patients (9 females, 11males; mean age 44.4 years; range 31 to 67 years) whowere diagnosed to have obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and snoring and who underwent modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty were evaluated prospectively.The patients were evaluated considering pre- and postoperative symptoms, polysomnography, and Epworthsleepiness scale. Postoperative polysomnography wasperformed in the 4thmonth at the earliest and in the 25th month at the latestResults: With respect to polysomnography, there wereno significant differences between pre- and postoperative values except duration of apnea. However, therewas significant decrease in postoperative values whencompared to preoperative values regarding Epworthsleepiness scale. There were no significant differences between the patients followed up for four to eightmonths and those followed up for 12 to 25 months. Conclusion: Modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty maybe a method of choice in patients with obstructive sleepapne syndrome who are not compatible with continuous positive airway pressure or oral apparatus.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada horlama ve obstrüktif uyku apnesendromlu hastalarda uyguladığımız modifiye uvulopalatofarengoplasti ameliyatı sonuçları değerlendirildi. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: Mart 2007 - Mayıs 2009 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde horlama ve obstrüktif uykuapne sendromu tanısı konan ve modifiye uvulopalatofarengoplasti ameliyatı uygulanan 20 hasta (9 kadın,11 erkek; ort. yaş 44.4 yıl; dağılım 31-67 yıl) ileriyeyönelik olarak değerlendirildi. Hastalar ameliyat öncesive sonrası klinik bulgular, polisomnografi ve Epworthuykululuk skalası ile değerlendirildi. Olgulara ameliyatsonrası polisomnografi en erken dördüncü, en geç25’inci ayda yapıldı. Bulgular: Polisomnografik değerler açısından apnesüresi hariç, ameliyat öncesi ve ameliyat sonrasıarasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. Fakat Epworthuykululuk skalasına göre ameliyat sonrası değerlerdeameliyat öncesi değerlere göre anlamlı azalma görüldü. Dört ila sekiz ay takip edilen hastalarla 12 ila 25ay takip edilen hastalar arasında da anlamlı farklılıkbulunmadı. Sonuç: Sürekli pozitif hava yolu basıncı veya oralaparey gibi cihazlara uyumsuz obstrüktif uyku apnesendromlu hastalara modifiye uvulopalatofarengoplasticerrahi yöntemi bir seçenek olarak sunulabilir.
