Abstract
The aim of this study is to estimate the percentage of success of the device of Olympus - Celon which uses the principle of bipolar radiofrequency induced thermotherapy (RFlTT). The bipolar applicators are introduced into the tissue, which must be treated. These applicators are conformed to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the treated body regions. The radiofrequency current is generated between the couple of electrodes which are positioned in the applicator tip. Automatic dosimetry control ensures an optimal, soft tissue coagulation. Patients and methods: 56 patients with snoring were treated. [n 18 patients the volume of the nasal conchae was reduced and in 38 cases the soft palate was treated by RFITT Results: In 40 cases decrease of snoring was detected and in 15 patients the snoring stopped definitely after the treatment. Conclusions: The reduction of soft palate and nasal conchae using bipolar RFITT of Olympus-Celon is cases of snoring is effective and inexpensive procedure. However, we would like to underline the importance of the thorough diagnostics of snoring.
