Abstract

Objective To explore the application and therapeutic effect of H-uvulopalatopharyngoplasty( H-UPPP) for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome( OSAHS). Methods From Dec 2008 to Dec 2011,H-UPPP was applied to 36 patients with OSAHS diagnosed by polysommography( PSG). All the patients were followed up 6 months postoperatively. The clinical data was analyzed retrospectively for the evaluation of therapeutic effect. Results According to the criteria for OSAHS,the curative rate was 25 %( 9 / 36),the significant effective rate was 36. 11 %( 13 / 36) and the effective rate was 30. 56 %( 11 / 36) with a total effective rate of 91. 67 %. No serious complications occurred. Conclusions With advantages of good clinical effect and high safety,H-UPPP is a useful surgical method for OSAHS.
