Abstract
Objective

Tongue base and hypopharynx are the major sites of obstruction in OSA patients with failed palatal surgery. In recent years, several minimally invasive procedures have been developed to address tongue base obstruction. However, the research focus has consistently been on the effectiveness of surgery in reducing obstructive sleep apnoea rather than on postoperative complications. In this systematic review and metanalysis we aim to review the complication rate of minimally invasive base of tongue procedures for OSAS in adults.

Data sources

PubMed (Medline), the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Scopus, SciELO and Trip Database.

Review methods

Data sources were checked by three authors of the YO-IFOS sleep apnoea study group. Three authors extracted the data. Main outcome was expressed as the complication rate and 95% confidence interval for each surgical technique.

Results

20 studies (542 patients) met the inclusion criteria. The mean complication rate is 12.79%; 4.65% for minor complications, 6.42% if they are moderate, and 1.77% if severe. The most reported complication overall is infection, in 1.95% of cases, followed by transient swallowing disorder, occurring in 1.30% of the total sample.

Conclusion

The heterogeneity amongst the included studies prevents us from obtaining solid conclusions. The available evidence suggests that minimally invasive base of tongue procedures may present a wide spectrum of complication rates, ranging from 4.4% in tongue base radiofrequency to up to 42.42% in tongue base ablation.

Resumen
Objetivo

La base de la lengua y la hipofaringe son los principales sitios de obstrucción en pacientes con AOS persistente tras una faringoplastia. En los últimos años se han desarrollado numerosas técnicas de cirugía mínimamente invasiva con el objetivo de tratar la obstrucción en este nivel. Sin embargo, el foco de los investigadores se ha situado habitualmente en la efectividad de la técnica para reducir el número de eventos obstructivos, más que en sus complicaciones. En esta revisión sistemática y metaanálisis se evalúa la incidencia de complicaciones de procedimientos mínimamente invasivos para la base de la lengua en pacientes adultos con AOS.

Bases de datos

PubMed (Medline), Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Scopus, SciELO y Trip Database.

Método de revisión

Las bases de datos fueron evaluadas por 3 autores del grupo de investigación en apnea YO-IFOS. Tres autores extrajeron la información. Los resultados principales se expresaron como porcentaje de complicación e intervalo de confianza al 95% para cada técnica quirúrgica.

Resultados

Veinte estudios (542 pacientes) cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. La incidencia media de complicaciones fue del 12,79%; un 4,65% fueron menores, un 6,42% moderadas y un 1,77% severas. La complicación más habitual fue infección en el 1,95% de los casos, seguida por alteración transitoria de la deglución en un 1,30%.

Conclusión

La heterogeneidad de los artículos incluidos no permite obtener conclusiones firmes. La evidencia disponible muestra que la cirugía mínimamente invasiva de la base de la lengua presenta un intervalo amplio de complicaciones que varía entre el 4,4% en la radiofrecuencia de la base de la lengua y el 42,42% en la ablación de la base de la lengua.
