Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty(UPPP) by using radio frequency plasma on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) with velopharyngeal obstruction. METHOD:Eighty-one cases that were diagnosed as OSAHS with Velopharyngeal obstruction were randomized into two groups, UPPP group and radio frequency plasma Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty group. RESULT: Six months after operation, the effects in both groups were similar. CONCLUSION:Radio frequency plasmaUvulopalatopharyngoplasty is safe, time saving, less hemorrhage with good effects.
