- The pilot study explored the effectiveness of maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery for treating moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), focusing on various predictive factors for treatment outcomes.
- The study included 20 patients, revealing significant improvements post-surgery, such as a notable decrease in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), reduction in time spent with low oxygen saturation, and enhancements in airway dimensions.
- Overall, the MMA surgery showed a 55% success rate in these patients, suggesting it could be an effective treatment for specific individuals suffering from OSA.
