Abstract : Anterosuperior deviation of the tongue, epiglottis and larynx increases the resistance of the upper airway, causing respiratory or sleeping disturbances that can be seen from neonates to adults. Correction of the glosso-larynx (CGL) by separating the frenulum linguae and a part of the genioglossus muscle (GM) reduces the airway resistance and improves respiration. Monitoring of tissue blood oxygen saturation (StO2) during CGL showed increased of StO2 starting in the middle of operation. Comparison of pre and post operation cephalometric radiographs and head CT images showed that after the operation, the larynx was displaced inferiorly and the hyoid bone was displaced anteroinferiorly, while the width at the narrowest part, the cross-sectional area, and the volume of the hypopharynx were increased.
