The functional palatorrhaphy in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea

We have developed a new operation for the surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea, which we called functional palatorrhaphy. This preserves the posterior border of the soft palate and allows a controlled repair of the aponeurosis of the soft palate muscle. We combine the palatorrhaphy with a...

description	We have developed a new operation for the surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea, which we called functional palatorrhaphy. This preserves the posterior border of the soft palate and allows a controlled repair of the aponeurosis of the soft palate muscle. We combine the palatorrhaphy with a standard or a modified chin osteotomy with advancement of the base of tongue. In our first five treated and re-evaluated patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, who did not respond to conservative treatment, the operation was successful. All patients but one were considerably improved or cured of their symptoms.
