    Author: Mozota Núñez JR, Mozota Núñez M, Mozota Núñez M, Abu Shams K, Mozota Ortiz JR.
    Journal: Acta Otorrinolaringol Esp; 1998; 49(8):629-32. PubMed ID: 9951082.
    Abstract:
    We studied the effectiveness of uvulopalatopharyngoplasty under general anesthesia and classical surgery in 26 patients treated surgically for chronic snoring (CS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Our technique is a variation of the Fujita and Quesada technique that involves partial resection of the palate and uvula with endonasal microsurgery. The criteria for inclusion were age 35 to 47 years and desire to do without C-PAP or Bi-PAP. This device, although effective, produced poor physical and psychological tolerance. After a postoperative follow-up of 3 years, good results were found in all cases.
