Abstract
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is not only a widespread pathology, but also has far-reaching social consequences due to patients' poor quality of nighttime sleep and high daytime sleepiness. To date, a large number of methods, both conservative and surgical, have been developed for the treatment of OSA. Surgeries performed for OSA are aimed at correcting the structures of the nose, pharynx, larynx, as well as the hyoid and jaw bones and the muscles attached to them. Despite the seventy-five-year history of the use of surgical treatment methods, there is still no complete clarity regarding the advisability of certain types of operations. The article presents data from meta-analyses published over the last ten years and devoted to various types of surgical procedures aimed at combating OSA in adult and pediatric populations. Rhinosurgical approaches, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, surgical advancement of the lower jaw in adults and expansion of the upper jaw in children, interventions on the hyoid bone and mental tubercle, removal of the palatine and pharyngeal tonsils, operations for laryngomalacia and bariatric surgery are considered. Data on the effectiveness of the most common operations: tonsillectomy in adults (85%), multilevel pharyngoplasty (60%); and about a wide range of data on the effectiveness of uvulopalatoplasty (25 to 94%) are presented. Effective surgical options and criteria for a positive prognosis of such treatment, the possibility of complete cure of OSA, that is, reducing the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI) below 5 events per hour in adults, are discussed. In conclusion, the need to continue research using Sher's criteria for the effectiveness of surgical operations is emphasized: a reduction in AHI by 50% or more or below 20 events per hour. Research that includes long-term postoperative follow-up is especially important.

Minimally invasive, single-stage, multilevel surgery for obstructive sleep apnoea: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Otolaryngol 2023; 48:828-840. [PMID: 37754548 DOI: 10.1111/coa.14098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive, single-staged multilevel surgery (MISS MLS) could be an optimal treatment for selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We aim to systematically review the efficacy of MISS MLS for patients with OSA, as well as the clinical outcomes and possible complications in OSA patients before and after MISS MLS. DESIGN AND SETTING Systematic review and meta-analysis. Six databases were searched, and the PRISMA guideline was followed. PARTICIPANTS Patients with OSA receiving MISS MLS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The random-effects model was adopted for the statistical synthesis. The percentage and 95% confidence interval (CI) were adopted as the effect measurements of MISS MLS for OSA. Subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses were also performed to identify the heterogeneity among the studies. RESULTS There were initially 154 articles for identification. Eventually, six studies with a total of 848 OSA patients completely met the inclusion criteria and were further enrolled for analysis. The pooled analysis showed statistically significant lower AHI (apnea/hypopnea index, /hr.; mean difference: -8.931, 95% CI: -11.591 to -6.271, I2 = 87.4%), ESS (mean difference: -2.947, 95% CI: -4.465 to -1.429, I2 = 94.9%), and snoring severity with 0-10 visual analog scale after surgery (mean difference: -4.966, 95% CI: -5.804 to -4.128, I2 = 96.4%). The success rate was 46% in mild/moderate OSA; however, 18% in severe OSA. There were no major complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS The acceptable surgical outcomes, esp. in mild/moderate OSA, and rare complications are the major advantages of MISS MLS. The evidence of this study could aid the decision making in selecting suitable treatment programs for OSA patients.

Lu YA, Wang CJ, Chiang YT, Li HY. Volumetric Changes after Coblation Ablation Tongue (CAT) in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11144186. [PMID: 35887952 PMCID: PMC9318492 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11144186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2022] [Revised: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Obstruction of the tongue is commonly seen in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This study proposed whole tongue treatment using coblation ablation tongue (CAT) and aimed to explore the potential association between the dimensions of a tongue and the severity of OSA, to inspect volumetric changes of the tongue after CAT, and to search for factors that influence outcome of tongue volume change. Methods: The prospective study enrolled 12 OSA patients (all male, average age: 35 years, average apnea/hypopnea index (AHI): 45.5 event/h, average body mass index (BMI): 27.0 kg/m2). All patients received multi-level sleep surgery including septomeatoplasty, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, and CAT. The CAT used a coblation wand to perform uniform multiple ablations (15 points, body −6, base −9) on dorsal tongue. Three dimensions of the tongue (length, height, and width) and tongue volume were measured from head and neck computed tomography. The perioperative changes in the tongue dimension/volume and AHI were assessed at baseline and 3 months after surgery. Result: The baseline tongue length and AHI had a significant correlation (r = 0.60, p = 0.02). The multi-level surgery significantly improved AHI (43.8 vs. 23.7, p = 0.008). The CAT significantly decreased tongue volume from 91.3 to 85.6 cm3 (p = 0.02), with an average tongue volume reduction of 5.7 cm3 per person and 0.38 cm3 per ablation. Further outcome analysis showed surgical success was significantly higher in patients with non-hypertrophic lingual tonsils (grade I/II) than in those with hypertrophic lingual tonsils (grade III/IV) (p = 0.02). Conclusion: Length of the tongue is associated with the severity of OSA. The CAT significantly decreased the tongue volume in OSA patients. A volumetric reduction of 0.38 cm3 per ablation could be useful in the optimal reduction of tongue for OSA. The CAT significantly enlarged the retroglossal airway volume, which is related to the non-hypertrophic lingual tonsil.
