They did a sleep endoscopy in 2011 and found very prominent lingual tonsils, but more significantly, near total collapse of the epiglottis while in a sleep state. CPAP only made things worse with up 25 AHI with over 90% CPAP compliance on very high pressure. My surgeon told me my recurrent laryngeal nerves were preserved during surgery and he found nothing amiss in followup. I had a steel surgical staple placed during surgery to control a bleeding vessel, and they removed part of my thymus due to lymphadenopathy found. I had Hurthle cell neoplasm on FNA before surgery and the diagnosis was Hurthle cell benign type on postop path, but I wonder if I should have something tested because I have a lot of throat soreness and mouth inflammation in the back of my tongue constantly with some bleeding. <br /><br />Thanks for posting this informative video Dr. Chang. s/ Edward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
