Abstract: Objective To explore the efficacy of low-temperature plasma combined with pharyngeal mucosal relaxation suture to reduce the volume of soft palate and tongue in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods A total of 38 moderate and 42 severe OSAHS cases underwent low-temperature plasma ablation of the soft palate and tongue, combined with relaxation suture of posterior arch in the fossa. Their sleep was monitored, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was filled and pharyngeal cavities were measured before operation and 6 months after operation. Results All patients' sleep was significantly improved. The diameters of the pharyngeal cavity were enlarged. Conclusion Pharyngeal mucosal relaxation tension suture can effectively prevent tear and collapse. Combined with low-temperature plasma ablation in the soft palate and tongue, it is one of the effective methods in the treatment of OSASH.

Key words: Sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome obstructive, Relaxation tension suture, Soft palate, Root and body of tongue, Low temperature plasma, Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty
