Abstract
Objective: To evaluate polysomnographic (PSG) outcomes after common skeletal surgeries for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in Thai patients. Materials and Methods: The retrospective study included OSA patients aged 18 years and older treated by hyoid suspension (HS) plus uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) (Group 1), genioglossus advancement (GA) plus tongue base radiofrequency (TBRF) (Group 2), and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) (Group 3) at Siriraj Hospital between January 2007 and October 2018. Those with incomplete PSG data were excluded. The primary outcome was the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Secondary outcomes were other PSG parameters and postoperative complications. Results: Twenty-four patients including 22 males and 2 females were included. Group1 (n=11), median AHI decreased from 45.4 to 24.1 events/ hour (p=0.17), while lowest oxygen saturation (LSAT) changed from 72.0% to 71.0% (p=0.11). Group2 (n=3) median AHI decreased from 64.7 to 51.4 events/hour (p=0.11), LSAT increased from 76.0% to 79.0% (p=1.0), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep increased from 0.0% to 12.4% (p=0.11). Group3 (n=12) median AHI decreased from 68.5 to 7.8 events/hour (p<0.002), LSAT increased from 75.5% to 88.0% (p=0.04), and REM increased from 0.0% to 21.5% (p=0.01). Surgical success rates as defined by Sher's criteria or a postoperative AHI of less than five events/ hour were 44.4%, 33.3%, and 66.6% in patients in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Common surgical complications included bleeding, mental or perioral paresthesia, and malocclusion after MMA. Conclusion: The skeletal surgeries significantly improved some PSG parameters, and thus may be viable options for OSA treatment in Thai patients.
