HORLAMA TEDAVİSİNDE RADYOFREKANS UYGULAMA YERİ SAYISININ TEDAVİ BAŞARISINA ETKİNLİĞİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI

Year 2009, Volume: 10 Issue: 2, 11 - 14, 01.08.2009

Abstract

AMAÇ:Ciddi medikal sonuçları olan Obstrürüktif UykuApnesi Sendromu (OUAS)'nun en önemli belirtisi olanhorlama sosyal ve medikal bir problem olduğundan titizlikle değerlendirilmesi gerekir.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMLER:Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi, KBB Anabilim Dalı, horlamapolikliniğine 1999-2002'de horlama şikâyeti ile başvuran, obstrüktif uyku apnesi öyküsü bulunmayan veyumuşak damak ile uvulası normalden uzun olup değişen oranlarda vibrasyon gösteren 46 olguda yapıldı. Bu 46olgu grup 1 (iki noktaya radyo frekans uygulaması yapılacak olgular) ve grup 2 (üç noktaya radyo frekansuygulaması yapılacak olgular) olmak üzere rastgele iki gruba ayrıldılar.BULGULAR:Preoperatif yumuşak damak vibrasyon dereceleri postoperatif 12. haftadaki vibrasyon dereceleriile karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı düzeyde azaldığı görüldü (p<0,05).Subjektif olarak ilk 4 haftada horlama şikâyetinde belirgin artış gözlendi. Preoperatif VizüelAnalog Skala (VAS)değerlerinin ortalaması 7.76±0,25; postoperatif 12. haftadaki VAS değerlerinin ortalaması ise 4,41±0,18 oluparalarındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p<0,001). İki grubun 4. haftadaki VAS değerlerindeki artışpreoperatif VAS değerleri ile karşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p<0,001). Yapılan istatistikseldeğerlendirmede preoperatif VAS değerlerine göre postoperatif 12. haftadaki VAS değerlerinde anlamlı azalmasaptandı (p<0,001).Subjektif şikâyetlerin de azalma olmaması nedeniyle grup1'de 8 (%40), grup 2'de 2 (%11,8) olguya ikinci seansradyo frekans uygulaması yapılması gerekti. İkinci seans uygulaması gerekmesi açısından 2 grupkarşılaştırıldığında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark tespit edilmedi. Bununla birlikte rölatif risk %95 güvenlikaralığında hesaplandığında grup1'de grup 2'deki olgulara göre ikinci seans radyo frekans uygulamasına 3,4 kezdaha fazla gereksinim gösterdikleri saptandı.SONUÇ:Uygulama yeri sayısı arttığında ikinci seans radyo frekans uygulaması daha az gerekir. Sonuç olarakuygulama yeri sayısı tedavi başarısında etkilidir

The affect of Increasing Radiofrequency Surgery Application Regions to the Medical Treatment Success of Snoring

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Snoring is a social and medical problem because of the prime sign of OSAS this pathology must be scrupulously evaluate. MATERIALand METHODS: During 3 years period (from 1999 to 2002), the 46 patients with chief complaint of snoring without obstructive sleep apnea history and soft plate elongation was found who applied to snoring policlinic of Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Medicine Department of Otorhinolaryngology was included in this study. RESULTS: There were a prominent decrease preoperative vibrations degree and postoperative 12 week vibrations degree statistically meaningfully differences was found (p<0, 05) in this study participant In the first 4 weeks of treatment, it was observed increasing of snoring subjectively. Patients average-value of VAS were preoperative 7.76±0, 25 and postoperative 12 weeks 4, 41±0, 18 which differences statistically meaningfully was found (p<0,001). Both of 2 group's 4 weeks VAS degree were compare preoperative VAS degree which increase were found statistically meaningfully(p<0,001). Both of 2 group's postoperative 12. weeks VAS degree were compare preoperative VAS degree which decrease were found statistically meaningfully (p<0,001). Second treatment application of radio frequency was needed in 8 patients in group I (%40) and 2 patients of group II (%11.8) due to decrease of subjective complaints. There were no statistically meaningfully differences when the necessity of second treatment application of radio frequency in both groups included in the study compared. In addition, when the relative risk with %95 safe interval was calculated, the necessity of second treatment application of radio-frequency in group I was found 3.4 times more then the necessity of second treatment application of radio-frequency in group II. CONCLUSION: In this study shows second treatment requisiteness was decreased when the increasing number of radiofrequency application regions. Therefore, the treatment success of snoring number of radiofrequency application regions was very important.
