- DISE-directed tongue surgery in children with prior adenotonsillectomy
and persistent/recurrent OSA demonstrates a statistically significant
reduction in post-operative AHI.
- DISE-directed pediatric tongue surgery demonstrates a statistically
significant increase in post-operative LSAT.
- Patients who underwent DISE-directed tongue surgery demonstrated
statistically significant surgical response.
- There is a paucity of prospective data for DISE-direct tongue surgery.
- There is a paucity of long-term PSG outcome data for DISE-directed
tongue surgery.
