Obstructive Sleep Apnea After Supracricoid Laryngeal Surgery (OPHL II): A Monocentric Prospective Pilot Study
: Supracricoid laryngectomy produces anatomical changes that predispose patients to OSA. Radiologic metrics-particularly SVTV and BTCB-appear to be meaningful predictors of OSA severity. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for early diagnosis and management. Due to the small number of patients enrolled larger multicenter studies are needed to confirm these findings and define radiologic criteria associated with postoperative OSA.
