ABSTRACT
Absract. Objective. Presentation of a clinical case of successful application of laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty in a patient with ronchopathy and severe obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Patients 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. Laser sculptural uvulopalatoplasty is a safe and effective method of treating patients with ronchopathy and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, even severe, providing stable and complete relief from night snoring and its complications.
