OBJECTIVE

Presentation of a clinical case of successful application of laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty in a patient with ronchopathy and severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The publication presents a clinical case of successful application of soft palate surgery — laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty — in a patient with ronchopathy and severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

RESULTS

After performing this surgical intervention, the rehabilitation period proceeded without complications. A complete relief of the patient from night snoring and apnea has been achieved. The persistence of the obtained result and the absence of complications were noted for 5 or more years after the operation.

CONCLUSION

This clinical observation indicates the effectiveness of the applied method of laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty in a patient with ronchopathy and severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
