This syndrome is the most common form of sleep-disordered breathing, middle-aged men, the highest incidence of obesity. apnea is the respiratory airflow during sleep is greater than or equal to 10 seconds gone, 7 h of night sleep time, at least 30 times apnea. hypopnea refers to the intensity of respiratory airflow during sleep compared with baseline by 50% or more, accompanied by a more basic level of oxygen saturation decreasedgt; = 4% [1]. patients because the long-term repeated upper airway obstruction attack, caused by hypoxemia and hypercapnia, adverse effects on metabolism, can cause sleep disorders, obesity, decreased testicular function, loss of libido, hypertension, arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction and other complications in adult-onset rate of 2% to 4% [2]. reservation in our hospital uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery, mainly applied in the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep Hansheng greater influence others rest, PSG showed AHIgt; 20, LSaO2 lt;90%, Muller examination revealed only in a narrow pharyngeal plane, no nasopharyngeal and hypopharyngeal stenosis. palate surgery fan clearance adipose tissue, forming expanding the scope of the soft palate, pharynx as far as possible to retain the basic anatomical structure, effectively prevent the throat dry, nasal regurgitation, nasopharyngeal stenosis, atresia and other complications, the effect is satisfactory, nursing now reported as follows. 1 Clinical data 1.1 General information on 43 cases, 38 males and 5 fe
