This study aims to compare polygraphic data in patients with OSA treated with Barbed Reposition Pharyn-goplasty (BRP) performed with a simplified technique compared to the standard method. Variations of tech-nique were performed and tested with the purpose of promoting tolerability and diffusion of this simplified technique. To evaluate the efficacy of the simplified BRP method, a sample of 99 patients was divided into two groups: Group A was treated with BRP (BRP group) and Group B was treated with simplified BRP (sBRP group). The results obtained on the two groups were compared with the two sample Bootstrap t-tests method, showing a substantial overlap in polygraphic results recorded 6 months after surgery.

Abstract

This study aims to compare polygraphic data in patients with OSA treated with Barbed Reposition Pharyn-goplasty (BRP) performed with a simplified technique compared to the standard method. Variations of tech-nique were performed and tested with the purpose of promoting tolerability and diffusion of this simplified technique. To evaluate the efficacy of the simplified BRP method, a sample of 99 patients was divided into two groups: Group A was treated with BRP (BRP group) and Group B was treated with simplified BRP (sBRP group). The results obtained on the two groups were compared with the two sample Bootstrap t-tests method, showing a substantial overlap in polygraphic results recorded 6 months after surgery.
