Abstract

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common disorder with potentially serious consequences. If maxillary and mandibular deficiency, often in combination with a narrow posterior airway space is present, therapy of OSA by maxillomandibular osteotomy is possible. However, long-term follow-up of patients undergoing these procedures is lacking. We present the results of 15 OSA patients (1 female and 14 males), who underwent maxillomandibular advancement surgery with a follow-up of at least 2 yrs. Polysomnography was performed before surgery, after 6-12 weeks, and 1 and 2 yrs postoperatively. Mean apnoea/hypopnoea index (AHI) decreased from 51.4 events.h-1 before therapy to 5.0 events.h-1 6 weeks postoperatively, and was 8.5 events.h-1 after 2 yrs. Oxygen saturation significantly increased following surgery. After 2 yrs, the AHI was < 10 events.h-1 in 12 out of 15 subjects. No significant changes were found comparing the 6-12 weeks versus the 2 year follow-up data. The significant increase in stage 3/4 non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and decrease in stage 1 NREM sleep, indicative of the restoration of normal physiological sleep structure, persisted in 14 of the 15 subjects 2 yrs postoperatively. Three patients, however, did not show satisfactory improvement 2 yrs postoperatively; two showed obstructive and one central respiratory events. This study demonstrates that maxillomandibular advancement is successful in a high percentage of patients carefully selected by cephalometric and polysomnographic investigation. Postoperative success has proved to be stable over a period of 2 yrs. Further preoperative evaluation seems necessary in patients with predominantly mixed or central apnoeas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
