Upper airway surgery for obstructive sleep apnea.
Upper airway surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) attempt to modify dysfunctional pharyngeal anatomy or by-pass the pharynx. Modifications of the pharynx diminish the bulk of soft tissue structures which abut the air column, place them under tension, others alter their spatial inter-relationships. Surgical procedures are designed to modify the retropalatal pharynx, th...

متن کاملPediatric Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors of the Airway: Two Case Reports with Varying Clinical Presentation
Introduction: An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor of intermediate malignant potential. It may occur in a wide range of anatomical locations. One-third are found in the respiratory tract. We report two cases of IMT of the airway diagnosed at our institution. Case Report: Case 1: A 6-year-old male child presented with a 1-month history of hoarseness of the voice. On ...

متن کاملLoop Gain Predicts the Response to Upper Airway Surgery in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Study Objectives Upper airway surgery is often recommended to treat patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who cannot tolerate continuous positive airways pressure. However, the response to surgery is variable, potentially because it does not improve the nonanatomical factors (ie, loop gain [LG] and arousal threshold) causing OSA. Measuring these traits clinically might predict responses t...
