Хирургическое лечение пациентов с ронхопатией и синдромом обструктивного апноэ сна – актуальная проблема современной медицины. Наносимая в ходе вмешательства на мягком небе травма велофарингеальных мышц различной интенсивности приводит к воспалению, некрозу или частичному отторжению ткани и заживлению раны путем рубцевания, гипотрофии и гипотонии мышц, птозу неба и, как следствие, рецидиву заболевания.</p></sec><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель. Оценить эффективность лазерного хирургического вмешательства на мягком небе у пациентов с ронхопатией и синдромом обструктивного апноэ сна.</p></sec><sec><title>Материалы и методы</title><p>Материалы и методы. Представлены результаты обследования и лечения 523 пациентов ронхопатией и синдромом обструктивного апноэ сна различной степени тяжести в возрасте от 23 до 78 лет (мужчин 299, женщин 224). Хирургическое вмешательство на мягком небе выполнено 352 (67,3%) пациентам: 309 проведена лазерная скульптурная увулопалатопластика, 43 – операция по методу М. Remacl et al. (группа сравнения).</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Сравнительный анализ субъективных и объективных показателей, полученных у одних и тех же пациентов по данным мониторинговой компьютерной пульсоксиметрии, полисомнографии и компьютерной сомнографии до и в различное время после лазерной скульптурной увулопалатопластики, демонстрирует стойкие и достоверные (р ≥ 0,005) позитивные изменения. Данные исследования пациентов группы сравнения демонстрируют положительную динамику результатов, полученных в различное время после операции по М. Remacl et al. лишь при наличии у них неосложненного храпа и легкой степени СОАС.</p></sec><sec><title>Выводы</title><p>Выводы. Лазерная скульптурная увулопалатопластика является высокоэффективным методом лечения пациентов с ронхопатией независимо от наличия и степени синдрома обструктивного апноэ сна. При качественном и адекватном отборе к операции, точном определении уровней обструкции, формы и степени коллапса мягких тканей верхних дыхательных путей, тщательном учете индивидуальных особенностей строения мягкого неба и глотки и минимизации хирургической травмы небной занавески можно добиться положительного эффекта операции у подавляющего числа пациентов.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>Introduction</title><p>Introduction. Surgical treatment of patients with ronchopathy and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a topical issue of modern medicine. The velopharyngeal muscle injury of various intensity due to surgical interventions on the soft palate leads to inflammation, tissue necrosis or partial rejection and wound healing with a fibrous scar, muscle hypotrophy and hypotonia, palatal ptosis and, as a consequence of this, disease recurrence.</p></sec><sec><title>Aim</title><p>Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of laser surgery on the soft palate in patients with ronchopathy and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.</p></sec><sec><title>Materials and methods</title><p>Materials and methods. The results of examination and treatment of 523 patients with ronchopathy and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome of varying severity aged from 23 to 78 years (men 299, women 224) are presented. Surgical intervention on the soft palate was performed in 352 (67.3%) patients: 309 underwent laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty, 43 underwent surgery using the Remacl method M. et al. (comparison group).</p></sec><sec><title>Results and discussion</title><p>Results and discussion. A comparative analysis of subjective and objective indicators obtained in the same patients according to monitoring computer pulse oximetry, polysomnography and computer somnography before and at different times after laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty demonstrates persistent and significant (p ≥ 0.005) positive changes. The data from the study of patients in the comparison group demonstrate a positive trend in the results obtained at different times after Remacl surgery M. et al. only if they have uncomplicated snoring and mild OSA.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty is a highly effective method of treating patients with ronchopathy, regardless of the presence and degree of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. With high-quality and adequate selection for surgery, accurate determination of the levels of obstruction, shape and degree of collapse of the soft tissues of the upper respiratory tract, careful consideration of the individual characteristics of the structure of the soft palate and pharynx and minimization of surgical trauma to the palatine curtain, it is possible to achieve a positive effect of surgery in the vast majority of patients.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>мягкое небо</kwd><kwd>лазерное излучение</kwd><kwd>мониторинговая компьютерная пульсоксиметрия</kwd><kwd>полисомнография</kwd><kwd>компьютерная сомнография</kwd><kwd>индекс апноэ/гипопноэ</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>soft palate</kwd><kwd>laser radiation</kwd><kwd>monitoring computer pulse oximetry</kwd><kwd>polysomnography</kwd><kwd>computer somnography</kwd><kwd>apnea/hypopnea index</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Partinen M, Guilleminault С.
