    OBJECTIVE: To explore the method of coblator plasma surgery and modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with uvula reserved and tongue base operation and its effect on obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHOD: All 56 cases were operated on infraturbinal, tongue base, uvula, soft palate and/or tonsil with coblator plasma surgery, the uvula was completely reserved by modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty in 9 cases. RESULT: The 6-months responders were 87.5% respectively. Five cases suffered from pharyngeal paraesthesia, 2 cases suffered from stomatolalia, 1 case suffered from pharyngeal secondary hemorrhage. CONCLUSION: The coblator plasma surgery on OSAHS is an effective and safe method.
