Evaluation of Oropharyngeal Structure and DISE Findings for Successful Soft Palatal Webbing Flap Pharyngoplasty
SPWFPP provides good surgical outcomes even in severe OSA patients with lateral pharyngeal wall collapse. However, the surgical results may be worse in certain patients depending on epiglottis collapsibility. A close analysis of DISE findings before SPWFPP reveals important indicators for predicting better surgical results and selecting OSA patients suitable for SPWFPP.
