Abstract
Purpose
Access the importance of visualizing the pterygomandibular raphae (PMR) while fixing palatopharyngeous (PPM) muscle to the pterygomandibular raphae (PMR).
Methods
Randomized controlled trial. First group, forty-two OSA patients performed either Anterolateral advancement pharyngoplasty (ALA) or Barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) while visualizing the PMR according to the following criteria: age between 21 and 60 years, body mass index (BMI) < 35, and patients with lateral pharyngeal collapse diagnosed with drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). The results were compared to the second control group of 42 patients performed the same procedures without exposing the PMR.
Results
PMR was bilaterally present in 27 (64.28%) patients and bilaterally absent in 5 (11.8%) patients while unilateral in 10 (23.9%) patients. PSG findings in group 1: Apnea hypopnea index (AHI) decreased from 40.84 ± 26.93 to 14.81 ± 7.43 (P < 0.001), mean Lowest oxygen saturation (LOS) significantly increased from 79.25 ± 14.93 to 89.92 ± 10.7 (P < 0.001) and Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) significantly dropped from 13.25 ± 4.65 to 6.1 ± 2.06 (P < 0.001). Group 2 results showed AHI decrease from 27.50 ± 11.56 to 11.22 ± 7.63 (P ≤ 0.001), LOS increased from 81.86 ± 6.41 to 90.21 ± 3.70 and ESS dropped from 14.95 ± 3.72 to 7.91 ± 3.05. The difference between both groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.001).
Conclusion
Fixation of PPM to the PMR under direct vision doesn’t significantly affect the surgical outcomes but can increase the procedure efficiency and reduce complication rate keeping in mind that PMR may be absent in some patients.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
