Abstract
Our modified barbed pharyngoplasty is the fusion of different ideas and techniques that started with the barbed reposition pharyngoplasty described by Vicini et al. Nevertheless, some changes have been made in accordance with the coaxial tubes’ theory proposed by Mantovani and incorporate the supratonsillar fat extraction performed in the Australian pharyngoplasty and in the relocation pharyngoplasty. These modifications involve more loops in the lateral pharyngeal walls and the soft palate, possibly optimizing surgical results.
