The Effect of Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with Tonsillectomy in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Indian Journal Of Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 6729-33. doi:10.1007/s12070-014-0735-1
Baradaranfar et al. (2015) reported that Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the commonest kind of sleep apnoea brought about when the upper airway is obstructed. The prevalence of this disorder is 2 percent in women and 4 percent in men who are middle-aged. The authors of this article assessed the efficacy of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) surgical operation in treating patients who had OSA syndrome. Baradaranfar et al. (2015) found that the use of UPPP in OSA patients could result in improvement of symptoms in 64 percent of cases. This implies that UPPP can be used to treat OSA; this is in support of the proposed solution that entails the use of surgical procedure in treating OSA.

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is typified by recurrent incidents of complete or partial obstruction of upper airway as one sleeps resulting in a decrease in blood oxygen saturation. During the 5th and 6th decades of a person’s life, 4 percent of men and 2 percent of women are affected by this disorder (Benazzo et al., 2008). The main symptoms are changes in daytime levels of performance, loud snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness. Benazzo et al. (2008) concluded that hyoidthyroidpexia surgical procedure was effectual in patients who had OSAS. This supports the proposed solution that entails using surgery to treat OSA.

In their study, Browaldh et al. (2011) evaluated the symptoms and recordings of sleep apnoea in patients who had obstructive sleep apnoea fifteen years following uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) in comparison to previous follow-ups and baseline. At the moment, mandibular retaining devices (MRDs) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) are the major treatments for OSAS. Their findings showed that there was a noteworthy and stable reduction in median oxygen desaturation index 4 percent values over the 15-year period. Most of the patients had cured or improved daytime sleepiness and were satisfied. This supports the proposed solution that using surgical operation helps to reduce or totally get rid of the symptoms and complications of OSA.
