This new procedure is called the \u2018revised UPPP with uvula preservation\u2019 (Han\u2019s UPPP or H-UPPP), the characteristics of which are as follows: complete preservation of the uvula; larger portion of the soft palate resected (with the levator palati and tensor palati remaining intact); the adipose tissue in the space of the velum palati is removed; the preserved uvula will become a \u2018normal\u2019 one by the contraction of scar tissue on both sides of the musculus palato-uvularis and the lower margin of the tensor palati. 68 cases of obstructive sleep apnea\/hypopnea syndrome had been treated with H-UPPP between September 1998 and May 2001. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt; Polysomnography was performed for all 68 cases 6 months postoperatively with a surgical response of 69.12%, defined as a &gt;50% reduction of the apnea-hypopnea index and &lt;20 apneic pauses\/h; no palatopharyngeal incompetency or palatopharyngeal stenosis. Anatomic measurements showed that the preserved uvula in H-UPPP begins to retract 2 weeks postoperatively, and the preserved uvula becomes \u2018normal\u2019 in 3\u20136 months. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt; These results suggest that H-UPPP is an effective surgery and produces fewer complications compared with the classic UPPP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000087390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,10]],"date-time":"2005-08-10T14:11:38Z","timestamp":1123683098000},"page":"213-219","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Revised Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with Uvula Preservation and Its Clinical Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Demin","family":"Han","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingying","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhonghui","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiangyong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuhuan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288%2F00005537-199509000-00008"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1378%2Fchest.107.2.367"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172%2FJCI117640"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1597%2F1545-1569%281997%29034%3C0466%3ASOTMUF%3E2.3.CO%3B2"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038%2Fsj.ijo.0801172"}],"container-title":["ORL"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/87390","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/87390","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:22:09Z","timestamp":1745464929000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000087390"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,11,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000087390","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0301-1569","1423-0275"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0301-1569","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0275","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005]]}}}
