In a randomized, controlled trial, 62 patients (47 men and 15 women) with severe antisocial snoring, but no sleep apnea, were allocated to one of three surgical treatments. These were uvulopalato-pharyngoplasty, laser palatoplasty, and diathermy palatoplasty. Postoperative morbidity was measured on a visual analogue scale of severity of pain, dysphagia, and nasal regurgitation at 1, 2, and 7 days after the operation. Efficacy of each procedure was measured by asking the sleeping partner to record the severity of snoring before and after the operation, again on a visual analogue scale. Measurements were taken at 1, 3, and 6 months. There were no significant differences in early postoperative morbidity among the treatment groups. Diathermy palatoplasty is a new technique for the relief of snoring that is associated with low morbidity and requires little in the way of expensive equipment.
