Аннотация
PURPOSE: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and maxillo-mandibular advancement (MMA) are effective options for obstructive sleep apnea patients. Identification of the correct candidate is by far the most important item in achieving a succesful outcome. As a consequence, not all patients can be managed successfully via one or the other procedure. To overcome the limits of any single procedure we have combined, in a very selected population of patients, TORS tongue base reduction and MMA. Preliminary data are encouraging, in terms of both AHI and ESS.
METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on five patients treated with combined TORS-MMA surgery. Demographic and clinical data, pre-operative and post-operative PSG and ESS were collected.
RESULTS: Three of five patients were recruited. All patients presented severe OSAHS. Mean AHI and ESS went respectively from 48 and 12 pre-operatively to 19 and 4 post-operatively. Minor bleeding occurred in two patients. No significant sequelae have been reported.
CONCLUSIONS: Combined TORS and MMA is feasible and safe. Our very preliminary data are encouraging, in terms of both AHI and ESS. Long-term follow-up and a larger amount of subjects are needed to confirm this surgical approach as a valuable option for selected OSAHS patient.
