You get what you give Posts: 13030 Location: Texas	the idea behind the strap muscle myectomy is it prevents the soft palate from retracting caudally. the two ideas behind treating DDSP are- either pull the epiglottis forward, or prevent the soft palate from going so far back. The myectomy gives you about 60% success A lot of times now they combine the myectomy with a tie forward and that increases the success to around 80-87% All in all, prognosis is based on the nature of the DDSP- is it displacing sometimes, or persistently? the ones who displace persistently have a lower prognosis regardless. Other methods are thickening the soft palate, or removing extra soft palate. but when you remove the extra soft palate, you get into problems with aspiration pneumonia.
