In this technique, after tonsillectomy and weakening without complete section of the palatopharyngeus muscle in the lower part of the tonsillar fossa, using a bidirectional barbed suture, a needle is introduced at the central point (A) and passed laterally inside the palate towards the pterygomandibular raphe (C) on one side passing first through an intermediate point (B). From the raphe, the needle is introduced through the same exit point into the tonsillar fossa to embrace the palatopharyngeal muscle and return to the raphe. Up to three passes can be made to the palatopharyngeus muscle, each time returning to the raphe, applying gentle traction on the thread each time it leaves the mouth.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The Spanish team performed a modified BRP: after dissection and removal of the supra-tonsillar fat,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> the technique begins in the same way as the classic BRP with the difference that the needle comes out of the hole created when the fat is removed, making 3 loops between the palatopharyngeus and the pterygomandibular raphe. In this technique, the palatopharyngeus muscle is weakened but not completely cut. The rest of the thread is used to close the wound in the soft palate using zig-zag sutures across the palate from the junction of the hard palate to the edge of the soft palate near the uvula.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> In addition, raphe-to-raphe suturing is possible if there is suture left over (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>a, b); if raphe-to-raphe suturing is desired, it is best planned before zig-zag suturing.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Inclusion criteria were adult patients operated for OSA, with polygraph (PG) or polysomnography (PSG) before and 3–6 months after the surgery.

Multilevel surgery consisted of reduction of the lingual tonsil by robotic approach or by coblation. Nasal surgery consisted of septoplasty combined with turbinate reduction if required by the patient.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The variables analysed were age, sex, body mass index (BMI), tonsillar hypertrophy (according to Friedman scale), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), tongue base and/or nasal surgery performed in addition to barbed pharyngoplasty, and the information obtained from the PG or PSG.</p><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Different definitions of surgical success were considered according to the postoperative apnoea-hypopnoea index (AHI) (<10/h and Sher’s surgical success criterion, AHI < 20 with greater than 50% reduction<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a>).

Regardless of the barbed pharyngoplasty technique used, BRP achieves a surgical success rate according to Sher's criteria of more than 50% of the sample.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In this study, the difference in the number of loops performed in barbed pharyngoplasty was not a predictor of improved surgical success in multivariate analysis, although in an initial analysis it appeared to be important in improving outcomes. This is paradoxical when we look at the intraoperative changes that occur when passing the suture that can be seen in Video <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#sec0035">1</a>. The zigzag suturing in the soft palate seems to help open the velopharynx in its anteroposterior diameter even more than raphe-to-raphe sutures. Surgical success may be due to factors that do not depend on increasing upper airway (UAW) diameters postulated by Masiyev et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0075"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> These authors measured postoperative changes with acoustic pharyngometry after expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty. They found that, in both successful and unsuccessful patients, the UAW increased significantly to the same extent, with no significant difference between the two. However, Barbieri et al. did find an improvement in their success rates when they modified their technique by increasing the suture passage through the soft palate with two horizontal sutures.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a></p><p id="par0095" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Despite the low number of female patients in our sample, they seem to have better results than males. To our knowledge, this point has not been previously described and will have to be validated in studies with larger samples.</p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Age also seems to be important in the results of the surgery, since, although there is no difference in success rates according to the classical Sher criteria, the chance of achieving an AHI < 10/h is reduced. With age there are changes in the upper airway, including a lowering of the hyoid which has been associated with worse surgical outcomes.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0085"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a></p><p id="par0105" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Another surprising finding is that patients who underwent nasal surgery have worse outcomes than those who did not require nasal surgery.

However, it is precisely the heterogeneity of the groups, reflecting the real life of OSA patients, which prevents us from obtaining more significant results.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0085">Conclusion</span><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Non-resective pharyngoplasty with barbed sutures is an effective technique for the treatment of OSA in selected patients.
