Abstract
Considering the limitations inherent to retrospective study designs, the results suggested that MMA surgery, with and without advancement genioplasty, can promote immediate gains to the PAS. A larger gain was possible in the hypopharynx for MMA with genioplasty. MMA without genioplasty could represent a greater gain in the nasopharynx and oropharynx. Further studies should evaluate functional parameters in patients with OSAS to measure the possible benefits of this increase in the PAS.
