| pubmed-article:8548960 | pubmed:abstractText | The effect of stiffening the soft palate by inducing scarring after removing a central strip of mucosa with a CO2 laser was investigated in 25 heavy snorers. The results were assessed using a series of Visual Analogue Score (VAS) assessment questionnaires completed by the partner over a period of 6 months. Of the 22 patients who had the laser-strip and uvulectomy, snoring improved in 18 (82%) (median improvement of 75% at 3 months). Four patients did not improve. Between 3 and 6 months, snoring increased in one patient and decreased in four (< 10% change on VAS). Snoring did not improve in the three patients who did not undergo uvulectomy. We conclude that the laser-strip/uvulectomy can reduce snoring to a tolerable level in eight out of 10 heavy snorers, but the procedure is painful for several days. | lld:pubmed |
