The use of SPHARM-PDM and mean latitude axis to evaluate airway changes.
CONCLUSIONS: SPHARM-PDM and mean latitude axis are useful tools to assess airway shape change. BSSO advancement produces a significant increase in pharyngeal airway volume and minimum cross-sectional area. The airway space increased more transversely than anteroposteriorly.
