Abstract
OBJECTIVES The failure rate and risk factors of upper airway surgery with drug induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) remain unknown in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This review aims to analyze the failure rate of upper airway surgery with DISE and identify obstruction sites for surgical failure. METHODS A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar until May 20th, 2023. We included studies that used DISE to assess obstructive sites before upper airway surgery and reported surgical failure rates and outcomes in patients with OSA. RESULTS 25 studies with a total of 1522 patients were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Upper airway surgery guided by DISE had a relatively low failure rate of 37% (95% CI 0.31-0.44) in the random effects model (I2 = 85.97%, P < 0.001). According to the velum, oropharynx, tongue base, and epiglottis (VOTE) scoring system, major risk factors for surgical failure included circumferential collapse at the velum, lateral wall collapse and small tonsils at the oropharynx, anterior-posterior lingual collapse and complete collapse at the tongue base. High body mass index and large preoperative apnea hypopnea index were also risk factors for OSA surgical failure. CONCLUSIONS Upper airway surgery guided by DISE in patients with OSA had a low failure rate of 37%. DISE can identify obstruction sites associated with surgical failure and guide single-level and multi-level surgeries.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of esketamine nasal drops on pain in children after tonsillectomy using low-temperature plasma ablation. Methods 76 children who underwent tonsillectomy between May 2020 and July 2021, were randomly divided into two groups of 38 cases each. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional medication, while those in the study group were treated with esketamine nasal drops, along with the routine drug treatment. Pain levels of children in the two groups were compared within 1-3 days post-surgery, and the pseudomembrane formation and shedding-off time and recovery time were statistically analyzed. Results The pain level of children in the study group was lower than that of the control group 1-3 days post-surgery. The pseudomembrane formation and shedding-off time and recovery time in the study group were shorter than in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups, and there were no serious adverse reactions in the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion It is safe to use esketamine nasal drops in children after tonsillectomy using low temperature plasma ablation, and this is found to reduce pain and shorten the recovery time.

Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is considered the silent killer pathology of the new millennium. This is due to increased risk factors such as obesity. Healthcare systems face an increasing burden from severe cases of OSA. We performed a study on a group of 152 Romanian patients with OSA recording data obtained through polysomnography and cephalometric variables, recorded in lateral plain X-rays. The results confirmed some of the data available from previous studies worldwide, but some of the variables presented a positive statistical correlation specific to our study group. For example, the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) correlated with the uvula length but surprisingly did not correlate with body mass index (BMI) because obesity tends to become endemic in Romania. To our knowledge, this is one of the first studies focusing on cephalometric data in Romanian OSA patients. The results obtained through this study will be further analyzed in research on larger groups of Romanian OSA patients.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2022; 279:3727-3732. [PMID: 35338397 PMCID: PMC9130194 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-022-07350-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE This single-group, retrospective, pre-test-post-test study was performed to examine clinical outcomes in treating obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) with tonsillectomy alone and had the longest follow-up periods to date. METHODS We analysed 151 tonsillectomies in our district between the years 2004 and 2018 that had either sleep apnoea or snoring listed as a diagnosis. Twenty-one patients met our criteria and were included. Patient records were analysed for home sleep apnoea test and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores. RESULTS We defined success as a > 50% reduction of the Apnoea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and a total AHI of < 20 post-surgery. The averages before surgery were an AHI of 22.3 and an ESS of 7.22. The success rate was 47.6% after tonsillectomy as the sole treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea in our adult population. Eleven patients were non-responders. The average ESS score reduction was 0.69 and did not reach statistical significance. With follow-up times ranging from 1.8 to 171 months, this study had the longest follow-up period compared to other existing studies. No patient with a follow-up longer than one year was a responder. CONCLUSION Our results support that tonsillectomy is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea in adults with tonsillar hypertrophy. With less severe OSA than those reported on previously, our patients also had less severe daytime sleepiness before surgery, and daytime sleepiness score reductions did not reach statistical significance. In the future, long-term results should be further analysed.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze upper airway (UA) collapse patterns through drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) in adult patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who previously underwent tonsillectomy. METHODS This was a retrospective study on patients with OSA who underwent DISE between June 1, 2013 and July 30, 2017 at Stanford Hospital. Subjects who had prior tonsillectomy history were classified into the tonsil0 group, whereas others were classified into the tonsil1 and tonsil2/3/4 group based on tonsil grade. UA collapse characteristics were recorded and analyzed among groups according to Velum, Oropharynx, Tongue base and Epiglottis (VOTE) classification. RESULTS A total of 205 individuals were included, 38 in tonsil0 group, 104 in tonsil1 and 63 in tonsil2/3/4. The tonsil0 group had a higher percentage of anterior-posterior (AP) velum (58%) and tongue base (45%) collapse compared with the tonsil2/3/4 group (22%, P = 0.0003 and 22%, P = 0.02, respectively) but less oropharyngeal lateral wall collapses (29% vs 53%, P = 0.02). Most of the tonsil0 group (70%) showed multi-sites collapse pattern, the percentage of combined obstruction in both palatopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal region was higher (50% vs 29%, P = 0.03). The difference of velum complete AP collapse remained significant after adjusting for age and BMI (Odds Ratio = 0.33, 95% CI 0.12-0.86, P = 0.02). No significant differences were found between the tonsil0 and tonsil1 groups. CONCLUSION Compared with individuals with larger tonsils (grade 2 to 4), those with previous tonsillectomy and OSA were susceptible to the velum AP configuration collapse. Diversity of multi-sites obstruction and combined collapse in both palatopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal level was the main characteristic.
