OBJECTIVE: To report our early experience evaluating the efficacy of genioglossus muscle advancement using the genioglossus bone advancement technique (GBAT) for symptomatic base of @entity5773 and @entity387 . STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective, nonrandomized study. METHODS: @entity1 data were obtained from the hospital records of 13 @entity1 undergoing genioglossus muscle advancement with the GBAT system. RESULTS: Thirteen @entity1 underwent genioglossus muscle advancement with the GBAT system. All @entity1 demonstrated greater than 75% obstruction at the base of the tongue as determined by preoperative M  ller's manoeuvre. Nine @entity1 @entity27 and four demonstrated severe upper @entity1224 on nocturnal polysomnography. Postoperatively, all @entity1 reported improvement of snoring and @entity2147 and greater than 90% improvement of collapse at the base of the tongue. Minor complications (3/13) included @entity809 . There was one case of infection requiring plate removal and one case of @entity1224 secondary to @entity113 . CONCLUSIONS: Genioglossus muscle advancement using the GBAT system is a safe, simple, and rapid method for improving symptomatic base of @entity5773 in @entity387 .
