Role of transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty in management of lateral pharyngeal wall collapse in OSA
Introduction: Non-response to palatal surgery for OSA is a problem. Residual lateral wall hypopharyngeal collapse is the proposed mechanism of failure. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the role of transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty in non-responders to primary palatal surgery with residua...

| description | Introduction: Non-response to palatal surgery for OSA is a problem. Residual lateral wall hypopharyngeal collapse is the proposed mechanism of failure. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the role of transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty in non-responders to primary palatal surgery with residual lateral wall hypopharyngeal collapse. Methods: This is a retrospective study that was conducted on patients who underwent transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty for residual lateral wall hypopharyngeal. Inclusion criteria were age greater than 18-years, OSA proved by the polysomnography with apnea hypopnea index >15, lateral wall collapse at the level of hypopharynx as proved by drug-induced sleep endoscopy and had a previous tonsillectomy or previous palatal surgery for OSA. Exclusion criteria were those with no history of tonsillectomy or any other surgery for OSA and those with a missed followup. Data of included patients were collected and included gender, age, polysomnographic data like the apnea hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation and the calculated preoperative Epworth sleepiness scale. The early outcome included symptom improvement as measured by Epworth sleepiness scale score and lateral pharyngeal wall evaluation by nasopharyngoscopic examination in the first postoperative month. Late outcome measurement was performed by the 6-month postoperative polysomnography. Data were analyzed using SPSS program. Results: The study included 37 patients with a mean age of (40.43 ± 6.51). The study included 26 men and 11 women. There was a statistically significant improvement of apnea hypopnea index from 37.8 ± 9.93 to 9.9 ± 2.55. In addition, a statistically significant improvement of lowest oxygen saturation from 78.9 ± 3.39 to 83.3 ± 3.31 was encountered. The patients improved clinically, and this improvement was measured by statistically significant improvement of Epworth sleepiness scale score and snoring visual analogue scale. Conclusion: Transpalatal advancement pharyngoplasty widens the retropalatal airway and has a great role in the management of the vertical palate phenotype. In addition, it can have a role in the management of lateral walls, especially lateral wall hypopharyngeal collapse. |
