Prediction of Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty Outcome: Anatomy-Based Staging System Versus Severity-Based Staging System

Abstract: The anatomy-based staging system predicted UPPP outcomes more effectively than did the severity-based staging. The anatomy-based staging system facilitates good case-selection information for counseling patients before UPPP surgery.

“…In prospective studies (table e18) the mean success rate (50% reduction in AHI, an AHI of f20, or both) ranged from 30 to 78%. Such differences from one study to another are probably reflecting selection biases with potential good candidates being previously selected [200]. These studies also mainly included young or middle aged and lean subjects with mild to moderate sleep apnoea.…”

“…The percentage of patients attaining UPPP success was 52% in the case of isolated oropharyngeal obstruction compared with 5% in situations of associated retrolingual narrowing [202]. However, selecting appropriate patients for UPPP surgery remains challenging, as physical examination, imaging techniques, upper airway pressure measurements and endoscopic examination are not systematically used, and no evidence exists demonstrating that any criteria are sufficiently useful in predicting good surgical outcomes [200]. FRIEDMAN et al [203] developed an anatomic staging system based on tongue-palate position, tonsil size and BMI to classify patients.…”

“…Our patients with preoperative AHIs of less than 30 had a higher likelihood of a successful surgical outcome (odds ratio, 11.7), a finding similar to that in other studies. 21,26 Determining the full spectrum of postoperative complications was not possible For personal use.

“…With the advances in laser surgery uvulopalatopharyngoplasty-laser assisted (UPPP-LA) was developed using the same principle of scalpel UPPP [44]. Variable success rates reported in the literature is up to 70% and 78% respectively [45,46]. Other studies show only 40 % success in eliminating snoring [47].…”
