    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the treatment effect of H-UPPP on patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHOD: Seventy-nine patients were enrolled in our study. Among which 49 patients were done with H-UPPP, and the other 30 patients were done with UPPP. AHI and LSaO2 were monitored by polysomnography and plasma endothelins-1 were tested with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after operation. RESULT: Forty-one patients were improved with reduced snoring and daytime sleepiness one year after operation in H-UPPP group,and the overall efficiency was 83.7%. Twenty-six patients were improved with reduced snoring and daytime sleepiness one year after operation in UPPP group, and the overall efficiency was 86.7%. There were significant differences of AHI, LSaO2 and ET-1 before and after operation between the two groups. Negative correlation was showed between AHI and LSaO2, also between LSaO2 and ET-1. CONCLUSION: Both H-UPPP and UPPP were proved to be effective to patients with OSAHS. The perioperative complications with H-UPPP was less than UPPP.
