Long-term results of one staged multilevel surgery with tongue suspension surgery or one level palatal surgery for treatment of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea.

Unlabelled: The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the long-term efficacy of the one staged multilevel surgery (MLS) with tongue suspension (TBS) surgery or one level palatal surgery for treatment of moderate and severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Forty-two patients were diagnosed with mild to moderate OSA. Participants were treated with AP for mild or moderate OSA.

Subcutaneous fat tissue thickness of the anterior neck and umbilicus in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Objective: To investigate the differences in thickness of subcutaneous fat tissue of the anterior neck and umbilicus of patients with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the relationship between thickness of subcutaneous fat tissue of the anterior neck and umbilicus and polysomnographic findings, and the influence of body mass index (BMI), anthropometric findings, and gender.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
