Abstract

Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a common underdiagnosed pathology. Its consequences are serious, especially in terms of quality of life and cardiovascular risk. This article describes the case of a patient having a severe OSAS. The conservative treatments as well as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty did not improve the symptomatology in an acceptable way. This clinical case illustrates the effectiveness of maxillomandibular advancement for patients with severe OSAS who respond poorly to conservative treatments.

Abstract

Maxillomandibular advancement is an integral part of the surgical treatment of patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. A number of publications report its efficacy and have attempted to define predictive success criteria. However, few authors have shown an interest in the surgical specificity of this intervention and in the difficulties that can be encountered, which differ from those seen in conventional orthognathic surgery. In this article, a series of patients treated with maxillomandibular osteotomy to correct obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (n = 17) are compared with patients who underwent surgery for the correction of dentofacial disharmonies (n = 33). Observations emphasized the importance of respecting a strict surgical and postsurgical protocol to avoid any technical traps linked to maxillomandibular advancement, both in preoperative simulations and during and after surgery. Results concerning sleep parameters will be the subject of a future publication.
