Özet

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is characterized by repetitive episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep and is associated with increasing respiratory efforts, with a consequent oxyhemoglobin desaturation, sleep fragmentation, and daytime symptoms, most commonly excessive sleepiness. The effectiveness of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is undoubtedly high in treating those patients who use it regularly, but for those who refuse it, the success rate is 0. It is for this subset of patients that surgical therapy can be useful. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nasal surgery on nasal resistance, sleep apnea, sleep quality, and nasal volumetric measurement in adult male patients with OSAS.
