Stanford protocol

Phase 1 surgery consisted of multiple procedures to address obstructive areas all along the upper respiratory tract; nasal and palatal procedures for the nasopharynx, genio- glossus advancement procedures for oropharynx, and hyoid suspension procedures for hypophar- ynx and Phase 2 surgery was maxillomandibular advancement and became known as the Stanford Protocol of Surgical Management of OSA.

According to the Stanford Protocol, Phase I surgery was completed first and the patient reevaluated 6 months later. In the situation of an insufficient response to Phase 1 surgery as determined as an AHI/RDI reduction by 50% or less than 5, Phase 2 surgery would then be recommended.

Early clinical papers using reduction in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) or respiratory disturbance index (RDI) and nadir (lowest) oxygen saturation (nO2) levels from overnight sleep studies revealed a stunning success in the phase 2 with a greater than 90% success.

This was a game changing event that eventually resulted in maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontist and the entire profession of dentistry becoming primary movers for the surgical treatment of OSA.
