  • Title: The predictive efficacy of the Müller maneuver in uvulopalatopharyngoplasty.
    Author: Katsantonis GP, Maas CS, Walsh JK.
    Journal: Laryngoscope; 1989 Jul; 99(7 Pt 1):677-80. PubMed ID: 2747390.
    Abstract:
    Flexible pharyngoscopy with the Müller maneuver has been proposed as a method for selection of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty candidates. In this prospective study, its predictive efficacy has been evaluated in 24 consecutive obstructive sleep apnea patients undergoing uvulopalatopharyngoplasty. FPMM enabled us to accurately predict the uvulopalatopharyngoplasty outcome in 12 of the 24 patients (50%). Although flexible pharyngoscopy with the Müller maneuver appears to be helpful in the selection of candidates for UPP, its distinct predictive efficacy is low.
