Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of the study: To assess the effectiveness of sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection in the region of the soft palate to treat primary snoring and mild obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome. Sodium tetradecyl sulfate, a preparation belonging to detergents, widely applied in Poland to treat varices by the method of compressive sclerotherapy was used in the study. Material and methods: The procedure of injected snoreplasty was performed in 21 patients, who were diagnosed with primary snoring or mild obstructive sleep apnea/hypopnea syndrome, based on subjective examination and polysomnography. Injected snoreplasty involves administration of sodium tetradecyl sulfate in the form of Fibrovein 1% or 3% preparation in the volume of 2 ml, in the region of the soft palate. Injection of the preparation in the area of the soft palate induces the development of aseptic inflammation, which creates a scar which stiffens the soft palate and makes the tissues of this region less susceptible to vibrations. Results: The patients after injected snoreplasty reported a significant decrease in the intensity of snoring. The markedly shortened total time of snoring was found in check-up polysomnography performed six months after the procedure. Conclusions: Injected snoreplasty is an effective procedure, especially, in patients manifesting persistent snoring. It is not indicated in the treatment of obstructive apneas during sleep. The advantages of this method are: minimal invasiveness, the low number of complications and slight pain
