Abstract
Objective. To present a clinical case of successful application of laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty in a patient with ronchopathy and severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Materias and methods. The article describes a clinical case of successful application of soft palate surgery – laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty – in a patient with ronchopathy and severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Results. After the described surgical intervention, rehabilitation stage was wihtout complications. A complete relief from night snoring and apnea in the patient has been achieved. The obtained results and the absence of complications after surgery were registered in the patient for the next 5 years and more.
Conclusion. Laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty is a safe and effective method of treating patients with ronchopathy and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, even severe one, which provides a stable and complete relief from night snoring and its complications.
