ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect of temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation of tonsil in the treatment of children obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods From January 2003 to January 2006,30 patients,confirmed OSAHS by polysomnography(PSG),aging from 3 to 10 years(mean5.8 years)were treated by temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation of tonsil,in which 21 cases with adenoidal hypertrophy were treated with adenoidectomy,and 3 of the 21 cases with secretory otitis media received auripuncture.Results Six months after the operation,the symptom of snoring and mouth breathing in all patients disappeared,tonsillar hypertrophy was kept in Ⅰ or Ⅱ grade,no pharynx stenosis was detected,and hearing was recovered to normal.After 1 year,20 cases were monitored with PSG,of which 10 cases were cured,8 cases showed apparent efficacy and 2 cases showed efficacy.Conclusions The temperature-controlled radiofrequency ablation of tonsil is an effective and safe technique in the treatment of children OSAHS.
