Radiofrequency tongue base ablation(RFA)decreases upper airway collapse by

producing a volumetric reduction in tonguebase tissue via the generation of scar tissue.

Insulated probe -> radiofrequency energy->introduced into several areas of the tonguebase and produces coagulation necrosisand healing by scar.

Performed in an outpatient setting under

local anesthesia and may required multipletreatments to achieve desired results


10/23

A review of 11 series showed successrates from 20% to 83% with multiple RFAapplications and concluded that this

procedure is not adequate as a soletreatment method, especially in light ofthe fact that most patients required

multiple sessions.

Tongue base procedure Partial midline glossectomy(PMG),

lingualplasty, and radiofrequency tonguebase ablation : retrolingual collapse ornarrowing

Lingual tonsillectomy may helpful in patient

with lingual tonsillar hypertrophy. PMG creates a larger retrolingual airway by

removal of a midline rectangular strip of theposterior half of the tongue.

Lingual tonsillectomy, reduction of thearyepiglottic folds, and partialepiglottectomy are also performed.
