DEFINITION OF OSA

• Sleep disorder that involves cessation or significant decrease in airflow

through the upper airway in the presence of breathing effort.

• Most common type of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)

•  Associated with recurrent oxyhemoglobin desaturations and arousals

from sleep.

Page 5: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 6: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

OSAS

• OSA associated with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is commonly

called obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)

• also referred to as obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)

• with severe OSA – more than hundreds of apnea can occur.

Page 7: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

OSAS

• OSA is defined by five or more respiratory events—apneas, hypopneas, or

respiratory effort– related arousals—in association with excessive daytime

somnolence; waking with gasping, choking, or breath holding; or

witnessed reports of apneas, loud snoring, or both.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF OSA

Page 10: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

• Upper airway is a compliant tube and, therefore, is subject to collapse.

• OSA is caused by soft tissue collapse in the pharynx.

Page 11: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

ROLE OF THREE FACTORS

A. a reduction in the dilating forces of the pharyngeal dilators,

B. the negative inspiratory pressure generated by the diaphragm &

C. abnormal upper airway anatomy, the element most effectively

addressed by surgery.

Page 12: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

• TRANSMURAL PRESSURE - difference between intraluminal pressure and the surrounding tissue pressure.

• If transmural pressure decreases the cross-sectional area of the pharynx decreases.

• If this pressure passes a critical point (Pcrit), pharyngeal closing pressure is reached .The airway is obstructed.

• OSA duration is equal to the time that Pcrit is exceeded.

Page 13: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY

• The three major areas of obstruction are the nose,

palate, and hypopharynx.

• NASAL / RETROPALATAL / RETROLINGUAL

Page 14: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

NASAL OBSTRUCTION

• Nasal obstruction contributes to increased airway resistance and may

worsen OSA.

• Leads to open-mouth breathing during sleep, which increases upper

airway collapsibility and may decrease the efficacy of dilator muscles.

• Snoring can be caused by nasal obstruction.

Page 15: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 16: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF OSA• Findings in Obstruction:

• Nasal Obstruction• Long, thick soft palate• Retrodisplaced Mandible• Narrowed oropharynx• Redundant pharyngeal tissues• Large lingual tonsil• Large tongue• Large or floppy Epiglottis• Retro-displaced hyoid complex

DIAGNOSIS

Page 19: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

DIAGNOSIS

• History

• Physical examination

• FIBEROPTIC NASOPHARYNGOSCOPY• Multiple positions• In awake & asleep patients• With Mullers maneuver – awake pt – generates negative pressure by inhaling

against a closed glottis with mouth & nose close – triggers airway collapse.

maneuver.

Page 21: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

DISE

• Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) - guide more effective surgical intervention.

• DISE involves the use of fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopy to evaluate the site of airway collapse during pharmacologically induced sleep.

• Useful tool for assessing the location, severity, and pattern of airway obstruction during sleep.

Page 22: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

CEPHALOMETRIC RADIOGRAPH

• 2D representation of the airway, a standardized evaluation system with broad availability and relatively low cost.

• These films provide information on both the bony skeleton and the overlying soft tissues.

• Inferior displacement of the hyoid, a smaller posterior airway space, and longer soft palates.

Page 23: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 24: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

• AWAKE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

• MRI

• FLUOROSCOPY / SOMNOFLOUROSCOPY

• NOCTURNAL PSG – gold std for the diagnosis of OSA.

TREATMENT

Page 30: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

MEDICAL TREATMENT

• Weight loss – Bariatric Surgery

• Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)

• Gold std for moderate to severe OSA

• Pneumatic splint – prevents collapse

• Provides constant +ve intraluminal pressure during respiration.

Page 31: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

POSITIVE AIRWAY PRESSURE

Page 32: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

MEDICAL TREATMENT• Bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP)

• delivers a separately adjustable, lower expiratory positive airway pressure and higher inspiratory positive airway pressure.

• Autoadjusting positive airway pressure (APAP) • Autotitrate the pressure depending on the variations of airflow to select an

effective level of CPAP.

Page 33: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

MEDICAL TREATMENT

• ORAL APPLIANCES – TRD, MPD

• PHARMACOLOGIC THERAY

• MODAFINIL

Page 34: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

SURGICAL TREATMENT

Page 35: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

OSAS

• Includes a wide variety of procedures that vary in their invasiveness and success rates.

• Generally, success is defined as a drop in the RDI by either 50% or 20 total points.

Page 36: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

INDICATION• Factors for surgical treatment of OSA include the

patient’s wishes, CPAP tolerance, severity of symptoms, severity of disease, patient comorbidities,site and severity of upper airway collapse.

Page 37: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 38: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

CLINICAL STAGING OF OSAS

• In earlier days the sole treatment option for OSAS was UPPP.

• Surgeons were planning treatment based on the severity of disease, avoided severe dse.

• Now we know that OSAS is a multilevel obstruction dse & UPPP is only useful for oropharyngeal obstruction.

Page 39: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

CLINICAL STAGING OF OSAS

• An anatomically-based staging system is made to identify areas of obstruction, and helps in tailoring the appropriate surgical treatment for each individual.

• The severity of disease is a secondary factor, which plays a role in determining the need for treatment.

Page 40: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

FRIEDMAN STAGING SYSTEM

• Parameters• TONGUE POSITION • TONSIL SIZE• BODY MASS INDEX

Page 41: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

FRIEDMAN TONGUE POSITION • FTP I - the entire uvula, tonsils, and tonsillar pillars. • FTP II allows visualization of the uvula, but not the tonsils. • FTP III allows visualization of the soft palate, but not the uvula• FTP IV allows visualization of the hard palate only

Page 42: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

TONSIL SIZE• TS 0 - post-tonsillectomy patients. • TS 1 implies tonsils hidden within the pillars. • TS 2 represents tonsils that extend to the pillars. • TS 3 refers to tonsils that extend beyond the pillars, but not all the way to

the midline,• TS 4 tonsils (‘‘kissing tonsils’’) reach the midline.

Page 43: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 44: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

STAGING OUTCOMES

• Successful treatment of OSAHS with UPPP was most likely achieved in stage I patients because of the predominant palatal and tonsillar component.

• Stage II and III patients were least likely to achieve a cure after UPPP, with an overall objective cure rate of 37.9 and 8.1%, respectively.

• Stage III patients have a predominant base of the tongue obstructive component, thus making single level surgery useless.

Page 45: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

PRECAUTIONS

• OSA patients are frequently overweight, hypertensive, and have other cardiac risk factors.

• These patients must be cautiously screened with a comprehensive medical examination before considering surgery.

• The surgical planning should include a discussion between the anesthesia team and the surgeon.

Page 46: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

PRECAUTIONS

• Stepwise algorithm frequently used - using an oropharyngeal airway to

prevent airway obstruction by the tongue, refraining from using

paralyzing agents until the patient can be easily ventilated with a mask &

preparing alternative methods of ventilation in case intubation is

unsuccessful.

• Possibility of tracheotomy.

Page 47: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

SURGICAL MANAGEMENT

• Staged, stepwise surgical protocol.

• site of obstruction - to determine the type and extent of surgical intervention.

• Before therapy is initiated, patients should be counselled regarding the possible need for multiple surgical procedures.

• Patients with laryngeal obstruction should be considered for tracheostomy if improvement is not achieved surgically or with CPAP.

Page 48: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 49: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

NASAL SURGERY • Nasal obstruction poor sleep quality, snoring, and OSA.

• Septoplasty, turbinate reduction, nasal valve surgery, and sinus surgery .

• However, nasal procedures are unlikely to significantly improve OSA when used alone.

• Improving nasal patency help to restore physiologic breathing and may allow for the use of nasal CPAP in patients previously unable to tolerate it.

• Initial step in OSA management so as to facilitate better CPAP adherence.

Page 50: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

PALATAL SURGERIES

Page 51: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

PALATAL SURGERY

• 1981 – Fujita &colleagues – 1st palatal surgery – UPPP

• Ikematsu: 1985 UPPP

• Stiffens the soft palate & increases the space behind the soft palate.

• Complications : temporary nasal reflex ( 12-15%) , post operative bleeding, infection & rare altered speech.

Page 52: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

UVULOPALATOPHARYNGOPLASTY (UPPP)

Page 53: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

UPPP STEPS• Rose’s position

• Partial uvulectomy – excessive mucosa of uvula tip cutoff without touchin musculae uvulae. Tip sutured

• Incision into the mucosa of the anterior pillar is performed in the oral fold of the palatoglossus muscle.

• Fibers of the M. palatoglossus are dissected from the tonsil. Tonsillectomy follows.

• Posterior tonsilar pillar is partially incised.

• Lengthened posterior pillar edge sewed together with the anterior pillar.

Page 64: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

TRANSPALATAL ADVANCEMENT PHARYNGOPLASTY (TAP)

• Aims to decrease retropalatal obstruction by altering the bony hard palate

and the soft tissue attachments of the posterior maxilla.

• A 1-cm portion of the hard palate is removed, and the soft palate is then

advanced and secured medially and laterally in the tensor aponeurosis,

which enlarges the retropalatal region.

Page 65: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

Transpalatal Advancement Pharyngoplasty (TAP)For moderate to severe OSA

Page 66: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 67: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

A, Drill holes are placed from the oral cavity to the nose and are anterior to bone removal (orange). A strong rim of bone supports the sutures. The anterior extent of the middle flap is placed in the thinner palatal mucosa.Mucosa is thicker posteriorly (asterisk).

B, After osteotomy, sutures are placed through the drill holes, and the bone fragment with attached tendonand ligaments is advanced.

Page 68: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

Z–PALATOPLASTY (ZPP)• Outline two adjacent flaps on the palate – together they look butterfly-

shaped – only the mucosa of their anterior aspect is removed.

• Then, the two flaps are separated from each other by splitting the palatal segment down the midline.

Page 69: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

Z–PALATOPLASTY (ZPP)

• A two-layered closure brings the midline all the way to the anterolateral margin of the palate.

• The final result creates 3–4 cm of distance between the posterior pharynx and the palate.

• The uvula muscles are preserved within the new palate.

Page 70: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 71: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

LASER ASSISTED UVULOPALATOPLASTY

• LAUPP

• Kamami : 1993

• Stiffens the soft palate & there by minimizes the

palatal flutter& snoring.

• CO2 / Nd:YAG / KTP

Page 72: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

LAUP

• Laser produces pyrolysis and tissue vaporization by heating the target

tissue to a temperature up to 750–900C with consequent considerable

collateral thermal tissue damage.

• In the oral cavity/oropharynx, the potassium titanyl-phosphate crystal

laser (KTP laser) is the laser of choice.

Page 73: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

LAUP• The uvula is partly or totally removed.

• Then, two paramedian full-thickness, through-and-

through trenches are made over the soft palate, on

either side of the uvula, to a height of 1–2 cm.

• LAUP is performed under local anesthesia in an

outpatient setting.

Page 74: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 75: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

CAUP

Page 76: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

COBLATION ASSISTED UVULOPALATOPLASTY (CAUP)

• Electro-dissociation.

• A medium rich in sodium is dissociated into free ions, which are responsible for the destruction of intercellular bonds, resulting in tissue dissociation.

• This reaction is achieved at temperatures between 60 - 70C with minimal collateral thermal tissue damage.

• Advntg – faster tissue healing & decreased postop pain.

Page 96: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

HYPOGLOSSAL NERVE STIMULATION

• Because OSA is primarily associated with relaxation of the pharyngeal

musculature during sleep, electrical stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve

improve the neuromuscular tone of the pharynx during sleep, particularly

the genioglossus.

Page 97: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

• Implantable hypoglossal nerve-stimulating device

• Reliably detect the onset of the inspiratory phase of respiration through

chest wall pressure sensors, allowing the electrical stimulation of the

hypoglossal nerve to be timed with inspiration.

RADIOFREQUENCY TONGUE BASE ABLATION (RFA)

• decreases upper airway collapse by producing a volumetric reduction in tongue-base tissue

• An insulated probe that delivers RF energy at 465 KHz is introduced into several areas of the tongue base and produces coagulation necrosis and healing by scar.

• OP setting under LA

• Require multiple treatments to achieve the desired results.

Page 103: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 104: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

TONGUE BASE SUSPENSION (REPOSE SYSTEM)

• AHI>20 , moderate base of tongue obstruction

• Fixes the tongue forward, thereby preventing collapse into the airway.

• Intraoral incision made in the frenulum

• Periosteum is elevated over genial tubercle

Page 105: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

REPOSE TONGUE SUSPENSION

• A titanium screw is placed at the lingual cortex of the geniotubercle of the mandible

• Permanent suture is passed through the paramedian tongue musculature along the length of the tongue, through the tongue base, and then back through the length of the tongue musculature.

• It is then anchored to the screw to pull the tongue base anteriorly.

HYPOPHARYNGEAL PROCEDURES

• Procedures designed to prevent tongue collapse into the airway during sleep.

• GENIOGLOSSAL ADVANCEMENT (GA)

• HYOID MYOTOMY (HM)

Page 110: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

GENIOGLOSSAL ADVANCEMENT (GA)

• Genial tubercle of the mandible (anterior

attachment of the genioglossus muscle) is

mobilized by means of limited osteotomy.

• The segment is then advanced, rotated and fixed

into place at the inferior aspect of the osteotomy.

Page 111: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

GENIOGLOSSAL ADVANCEMENT PROCEDURE:The rectangular geniotubercle osteotomy modification offers excellent tension on the

genioglossus muscle with a minimal fracture risk. The geniotubercle fragment is rotated enough to allow bony overlap. A single inferiorly placed miniscrew is used to fix the

fragment.

HYOID SUSPENSION

• Retrolingual obstruction

• Moderate – severe OSA

• Hyoidthyroidpexia (HTP)

• Stabilization of hyoid bone inferiorly and anteriorly by attachment to superior border of thyroid cartilage

• Tongue base move anteriorly and caudally.

Page 114: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

HYOID MYOTOMY (HM)• Result in an enlarged retrolingual airway by fixing the major dilators of

the pharyngeal airway forward.

• Usually done along with GA

• Problems: external incision on neck, infection, temporary dysphagia &

seroma

Page 115: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 116: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 117: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

COMPLICATIONS OF GA & HM

• Permanent numbness

• Infection

• Seroma

• Risk of mandibular fracture , aspiration & death

Page 118: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

MAXILLOMANDIBULAR ADVANCEMENT

• Maxillomandibular deficiency results in diminished airway dimension,

which leads to nocturnal obstruction.

• MMA expands the skeletal framework that encircles the airway, thus

enlarging the entire airway, including the nasal, pharyngeal, and

hypopharyngeal airway.

Page 119: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 120: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

MMA

• Mobilizing the maxilla and mandible to achieve anterior displacement,

after intraoral osteotomy.

• The maxilla and mandible are stabilized with titanium plates in the

advanced position.

Page 121: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
Page 122: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

MAXILLOMANDIBULAR ADVANCEMENT (MMA)

• Increases the retropalatal and retrolingual airway.

• Usually performed when other surgical intervention fails.

• Complications include malocclusion, relapse, nerve paresthesia, nonunion or malunion, TMJ problems, infection, bleeding, and the need for subsequent dental work.

• Success rate of this procedure approaches 90%.

Page 123: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

MMA is the most effective sleep apnea surgical

procedure currently available.

Page 124: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS (DOG)

• Accepted procedure in the treatment of severe maxillomandibular

deficiency in syndromic and nonsyndromic patients.

• As grossly retropositioned mandible or midface causes a narrow

pharyngeal airway, OSA is often found in these cases.

Page 125: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS• An osteotomy of the mandible or midface without advancement is

followed by a short latency period of 4 days.

• Then the two or more bony segments are slowly moved apart (mostly at 1 mm/day) using some kind of distraction device.

• Thus the unmineralized tissue filling the osteotomy gap is slowly stretched until – after cessation of distraction – it will turn into bone during the 4–10 weeks lasting consolidation period.

Midfacial distraction in a Crouzon`s disease case

Page 128: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

OSA

• MULTILEVEL SURGERY(moderate-severe OSA)• nasal surgery • uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP),• transoral tongue surgery, • genioglossus advancement (GA), • maxillomandibular advancement

osteotomy (MMA).

• MINIMALLY INVASIVE MULTILEVEL SURGERY• palatal implants and interstitial

radiofrequency treatments (RFT) of the SP, base of tongue, and tonsils.

Page 129: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

LARYNGEAL OSA

Page 130: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

LARYNGEAL OSA• Rare condition.

• occurs in adults and children.

• Laryngeal OSA has to be diagnosed endoscopically during sleep or sedation.

• ›› In children, laryngeal OSA is caused by malformations, tumors, and laryngomalcia; the latter especially in preterm infants.

• ›› In adults, laryngeal OSA mainly occurs in elder men due to a floppy epiglottis. More rare conditions are laryngeal and hypopharyngeal tumors.

Page 131: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

TRACHEOSTOMY• traditional gold standard of surgical management of OSA.

• relieves OSA by completely bypassing the portion of the airway that most commonly collapses during sleep.

• should be considered in patients who have failed all other OSA treatments, in those who have life-threatening OSA and are unable to tolerate CPAP, or in patients who are neurodevelopmentally impaired.

• best option for the morbidly obese or as an interim measure for patients undergoing base of tongue surgery.

Page 132: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

ROBOTIC SURGERY

Page 133: Surgical options for Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

TORS• da Vinci robotic surgical system

SUPRAGLOTTOPLASTY (SGP)

• ameliorate the inward inspiratory collapse of floppy and/or redundant

• two most common techniques performed are the Vertical Midline

Suprahyoid Epiglottic Split and the Horizontal Epiglottic Transection.

POSTOP MANAGEMENT

• In multisite surgical treatment of OSA increased chance of

postoperative airway obstruction because of resultant edema in multiple

sites in the upper airway.

• In addition, postanesthesia sedation along with altered respiration

secondary to narcotic pain medications can be additive in patients with

an already compromised airway.

• It is recommended that patients with severe OSA use CPAP for the first 2

weeks after surgery.

• In addition, it is recommended that postoperative PSG be carried out in 3

to 4 months to evaluate the response to surgery.
