Abstract

Surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in children who fail tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, or in those children with small nonobstructing tonsils is performed infrequently. Further evaluation including drug induced sleep endoscopy may uncover residual upper airway obstruction at the tongue base. When this finding is identified, targeted treatment of tongue base obstruction can be performed. A straight forward easy to perform tongue reduction procedure with minimal complications and good clinical outcomes when part of a multi-level approach is described.

后中线舌切开术

对于扁桃体切除和腺样体切除失败的儿童，或那些小的非阻塞性扁桃体的儿童，阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停的手术治疗很少进行。进一步的评估包括药物引起的睡眠内窥镜检查可能会发现舌根处残留的上气道阻塞。当这一发现被确定后，就可以对舌根梗阻进行有针对性的治疗。一种简单易行的舌复位手术，并发症少，临床效果好。
