Modified anterior palatoplasty and double suspension sutures (with or without tonsillectomy) in selected patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a preliminary report.

CONCLUSION: Combined MAP and DSS (± tonsillectomy) could be considered as simple, reliable, easily trained, effective, and safe surgical treatment option for OSA patients with predominant retropalatal obstruction. It could be employed in a single-stage, multilevel work-up.
