Abstract　： [ABSTRACT] The symptoms of the ankyloglossia with deviation of the epiglottis and larynx (ADEL) vary in adults. Such symptoms include headache, stiffhess of the shoulders, cold sensation of the extremities, fatigue, snoring, daytime somnolence and so on. Questionnaires about these symptoms were sent before operation for the ADEL and one month after surgery to one hundred fifty two adults. The results of the questionnaires showed high improvement after the operation. Blood oxygen saturation rate (SpO2), pulse rate (PR) and nasal airflow (NA) during sleep were compared before and after surgery in these ten adults with a portable sleep monitor (Fukuda Electric Co. LS-100). The average SpO2 and minimum SpO2 were increased after the operation. The Respiratory disturbance index (RDI), duration of the low SpO2 and PR were decreased. Sleep disorders, stiffness of the shoulders, lumbago, fatigue and general malaise were improved after the CGL (Correction of the Glosso-Larynx ; the operation on the ADEL). These observed ameliorations might have been caused by improvements of the respiratory condition after the CGL. CGL is less invasive than the other operations for sleep disorders and resulted in improvements for these sleep disorders. CGL can be recommended treatment for OSAS.
