Lateral oropharyngeal wall and supraglottic airway collapse associated with failure in sleep apnea surgery

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The presence of severe lateral pharyngeal wall and/or supraglottic collapse on preoperative DISE is associated with OSAHS surgical failure. The identification of this failure-prone collapse pattern may be useful in preoperative patient counseling as well as in directing an individualized and customized approach to the treatment of OSHAS.
