title: [The surgical treatment effect on upper airway in treating refractory hypertension accompanied with OSAHS].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the clinical treatment effect of refractory hypertension accompanied with OSAHS by surgery on upper airway.
  
  
  METHODS
  Thirty-two patients were enrolled in our research. PSG and blood pressure were examined on preoperation and 6th month, 1 year, 2 year of postoperation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The AHI and the time of SaO2 < 90% were lower significantly, and LSaO2 was improved (P < 0.01). The blood pressures of 32 patients were decreased.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The operation on upper airway could improve the hypertension of patient with OSAHS effectively.
