醫知健：微創治鼻鼾短痛快見效 年過三十、臉頰窄小和「肥胖一族」都是睡眠窒息症高危患者，上呼吸道組織嚴重阻塞呼吸道，睡眠時間歇停止呼吸，鼻鼾亦愈嚴重。本港近兩年引入微創射頻消融術，七成患者治療後鼻鼾有明顯改善。 上呼吸道組織如鼻黏膜、「吊鐘」、軟顎組織及舌頭，在睡眠時放鬆和收窄，在呼吸時產生震動，便產生鼻鼾。耳鼻喉專科醫生何峯指，當有關組織完全阻塞呼吸道時，呼吸聲和鼻鼾聲都會停，造成阻塞性睡眠窒息。「全港約有四成半人有鼻鼾，當中睡眠窒息症患者佔百分六，男性較多。」 診所可做手術 最新的微創射頻消融術，是利用插入式射頻儀器，將阻塞部位加熱至攝氏六十五至九十度，灼傷後組織形成疤痕，待身體吸收後組織變小及變硬，達至擴大呼吸道空間效果。何峯指術後一個月已見成效，「熱力程度儼如灼傷，手術可在診所進行，病人只需接受局部麻醉，術後半小時即可離開，醫療費比外科手術減九成，痛楚日數可減至六日。」 何峯承認射頻消融術功效最多維持兩年，可重複使用。本港個別公立醫院有提供，兩年來已有約六十名患者接受治療，七成人術後鼻鼾有明顯改善；約五成人願意再接受治療。「唯一缺點是射頻術只適合輕度成年患者及只有部分保險公司承保。」
