摘要：

Snoring is a disease of listeners and one which can cause significant disruption in an otherwise peaceful household. Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) was initially described in 1981 for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, and since that time only one large series has evaluated it as a treatment for snoring. Various therapeutic strategies have been described for the treatment of snoring, but UPPP seems to hold the most promise. A retrospective review was undertaken of over 100 patients undergoing UPPP since 1984 to evaluate the efficacy of the procedure in controlling the symptom of snoring. The group of patients who will benefit most from this procedure is identified.
