The Stanford Protocol is a combination of surgeries that are undertaken to treat obstructive sleep apnea.The Protocol involves two phases, the first of which involves UPPP and one or more of Genioglossus Advancement or Hyoid Suspension.
hyoid suspension; tongue suspension; tongue base reduction; genioglossus advancement; UPPP with tonsillectomy improves postoperative results of obstructive sleep apnea depending on tonsil size. The success rate increases with increasing tonsil size. [2] This approach improves postoperative results in well-selected patients. [3]
