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
Objectives: To compare functional outcomes and complication rates of anterolateral advancement pharyngoplasty (ALA) versus barbed reposition pharyngoplasty (BRP) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea patients with palatal and lateral pharyngeal wall collapse.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Setting: University hospitals.
Objective: To study the combined effect of modified genioglossus advancement (MGGA) and radiofrequency tongue base reduction (RFTBR) a long with anterolateral advancement (ALA) pharyngolplasty on OSA patients with retrolingual airway collapse.
Study Design: Prospective clinical study.
Setting: Zagazig and Benha Universities Medical Hospitals.
Objective: To assess Hyoid bone position and retrolingual airway space after Modified Genioglossus Advancement Surgery by cephalometry in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Study Design: Prospective study.
Setting: Zagazig University Hospital.
Objective: To compare submental intubation with tracheostomy in patients with maxillofacial fractures who were operated under general anesthesia and nasotracheal intubation was contraindicated.
Patients And Methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted on 32 patients undergoing maxillofacial operations. All patients had a panfacial trauma (including naso-ethmoid orbital fracture combined with mandibular fracture).
Objective: To investigate the efficacy of anterolateral advancement pharyngoplasty to enlarge pharyngeal airspace and to decrease palatal and lateral pharyngeal wall collapse in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Study Design: Prospective study.
Setting: University medical hospital.
Objective: The description of a new approach for the management of patients with frontal sinus fractures and associated obstruction of the frontal outflow tract to, restore sinus function and avoiding sinus obliteration.
Subjects And Methods: In a prospective study, 21 patients with anterior wall frontal sinus fractures associated with potential obstruction of the frontal outflow tract, underwent rigid internal fixation and intraoperative guarded nasal endoscopic debridement of any bony spicules and lacerated mucosa to clear the frontal recess. Patients were followed up clinically and radiologically by CT to assess the status of the frontal sinus and to detect any manifestations of frontal sinusitis or any other complications.
Objectives/hypothesis: To describe a modification of the originally described superiorly based pharyngeal flap as a secondary operation to correct velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in patients with nonsyndromic repaired cleft palate.
Study Design: Prospective clinical trial at university medical center.
Methods: Twenty-six patients with VPI after cleft palate repair underwent a modified posterior pharyngeal flap procedure.
Objective: To describe modification of the originally described genioglossus muscle advancement and its clinical assessment in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Setting: University medical hospital.
