Long-Term Results of UPPP and Coblation Channeling of the Tongue for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Ten patients with FTP 2 were responded after and showed a trend of a superior response than those with FTP 3–4 (10/11 vs. 14/25, p = 0.041), indicating that a higher FTP may predict an increased risk of nonresponse to CCT.

Further, Non‐responders positively correlated with the Friedman stage of OSA, and 9/12 non‐responders had Friedman stage 3 within our series, although the discrepancy ( p = 0.082) did not reach statistical significance, suggesting that combined UPPP and CCT surgery is unfavorable for moderate to severe OSA with small tonsils and a hypertrophic tongue.
