Abstract

To explore the curative effect of velopharyngoplasty (VPP) combined with hard palate shorting and soft palate forward in the treatment of type II moderately severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Thirty-two patients with OSAHS with and the obstructed surface located in soft palate were subjected to VPP combined with hard palate shorting and soft palate forward. The ESS scores, result of PSG included AHI and the lowest oxyhemoglobin saturation before and after operation were compared. The effective rate of VPP was 78.12% this group. The grade of ESS, PSG and the lowest oxyhemoglobin saturation was statistically significant before and after the operation (P < 0.05). In the other 7 cases whose AHI decrease less than 50%, the grade of ESS, AHI and the lowest oxyhemoglobin saturation was also statistically significant. VPP combined with hard palate shorting and soft palate forward can improve the surgical effective rate obviously for OSAHS patients.
