barbed reposition pharyngoplasty

[cpaper9000]

Hello
I have a possible palatal prolapse with my soft palate blocking the exhale in my nose. I wondered if barbed reposition pharyngoplasty would help me with my palatal prolapse?
Has anyone undergone this surgery and did it help you? Thanks

Therapeutic success was achieved in 22 patients out of 47.

Therapeutic success was defined according to Sher’s criteria: achievement of a postoperative value of AHI < 20 and a 50% improvement in the preoperative AHI value.

IMO, far from a good treatment in this one study.

This retrospective study showed that the BRP technique according to Mantovani was more effective, in the short term, compared to the classic UPPP technique of Fairbanks for patients with OSAHS. The combined use of HS showed greater benefits in UPPP compared to BRP. Randomized prospective trials with longer follow-up are necessary to confirm our results and formulate a more accurate indication of the optimal therapeutic strategy.
