Polysomnography in the Early Consolidation Phase of Mandibular Distraction as a Tool to Identify Residual Tongue-Based Airway Obstruction and Need for Further Distraction: A Follow-Up Study
Abstract:Background: The objective of this study was to analyze and report our experience with using polysomnography (PSG) during the early consolidation phase of mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) in patients with Pierre Robin Sequence and associated tongue-based airway obstruction with management decisions informed by the results. The secondary objective was to determine whether pre-operative PSG can predict which patients will have persistent obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and require additional distraction. M… Show more
