Effect of Palate Re-Repairs and Hynes Pharyngoplasties on Pediatric Airways: An Analysis of Preoperative and Postoperative Cardiorespiratory Sleep Studies

Objectives To determine whether Sommerlad palate re-repairs and Hynes pharyngoplasties cause obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea or increased upper airway resistance. Design Prospective before-and-after study. Setting Tertiary cleft unit. Patients A total of 44 patients undergoing a Sommerlad palate re...

Summary:Objectives To determine whether Sommerlad palate re-repairs and Hynes pharyngoplasties cause obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea or increased upper airway resistance. Design Prospective before-and-after study. Setting Tertiary cleft unit. Patients A total of 44 patients undergoing a Sommerlad palate re-repair or a Hynes pharyngoplasty. Interventions Preoperative and postoperative multichannel cardiorespiratory sleep studies. Main Outcome Measures The main outcome measures were mean arterial oxygen saturation, desaturation index, percentage of time spent with arterial oxygen saturation
