Inclusion criteria were moderate to severe OSA, PAP intolerance or failure, and adequate records to determine OSA treatment status.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Six hundred and eighty-nine patients underwent DISE between the above dates. 118 patients (17%) had CCC at the velum, and 103 were included. 23 patients (22%) were successfully treated, while 80 patients (78%) remained inadequately treated. This is significantly lower than the successful treatment rate of 48% at our institution in patients without CCC at the velum (p < 0.0001). Patients with CCC pursuing surgery to either improve PAP compliance, achieve primary surgical cure, or convert to a favorable DISE collapse pattern achieved adequate treatment in 40% of cases (12 of 30, p = 0.006 vs. patients not pursuing surgery).

Surgical intervention appears to confer a treatment advantage in CCC patients over continued PAP management or oral appliance therapy.
