  • Title: Three-dimensional CT reconstruction and volume measurements of the pharyngeal airway before and after maxillofacial surgery in obstructive sleep apnea.
    Author: Metes A, Hoffstein V, Direnfeld V, Chapnik JS, Zamel N.
    Journal: J Otolaryngol; 1993 Aug; 22(4):261-4. PubMed ID: 8230377.
    Abstract:
    We believe that maxillofacial surgery is a successful procedure for treatment of sleep apnea, provided the patients are fully assessed pre-operatively with nocturnal polysomnography and pharyngeal airway imaging. Long follow-up is also necessary to evaluate success.
