Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the significance of visualizing the pterygomandibular raphae (PMR) while attaching the palatopharyngeous muscle (PPM) during surgeries for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial, the research compared two groups of OSA patients: one where the PMR was visualized during surgical procedures and another where it was not, finding no significant difference in surgical outcomes between the two groups.
- While fixation of PPM to the PMR under direct vision didn't significantly improve results, it may enhance surgical efficiency and lower the risk of complications, acknowledging that some patients may not have a visible PMR
