Methods: On the plane to make an accurate assessment of stenosis after the UPPP + RF + GA, and other aspects of comprehensive surgical treatment. preoperative and postoperative patients for 6 months on the respiratory disturbance index (respiratory disturbance index, RDI), oxygen saturation, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (Epworth sleepiness scale, ESS) score were determined to assess the effect of surgery. Results: 19 patients were followed up to improve the rate of the standard RDI, the cure rate was 73.68% (14/19). after all ESS score less than 9 points. Conclusion: Tongue hypertrophy associated with severe OSAHS were treated with UPPP + RF + GA surgery program, confirmed that both the RDI and postoperative oxygen saturation, or ESS score improvement, have achieved remarkable results.
