Abstract

Seventy five patients with symptoms and signs of upper airway obstruction and OSAS were studied. Clinical, endoscopic, radiological and polysomnographic examination were performed. An approriate surgical procedure to correct the upper airway obstruction was performed. All patients were followed up for a period of 12 weeks, at the end of which a polysomnographic examination was repeated. The results of the study are discussed.
