Epiglottoplasty is a specialized surgical procedure performed to correct abnormalities of the epiglottis—the flap of tissue that prevents food from entering the airway during swallowing. In some individuals, the epiglottis may become floppy, enlarged, or positioned in a way that partially blocks the airway, leading to breathing difficulties, snoring, or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). At Ajuda Hospital, we provide advanced epiglottoplasty surgery to improve airway function and ensure better breathing and sleep quality.
Our experienced ENT and airway specialists offer precise diagnosis and personalized surgical care using modern, minimally invasive techniques for safe and effective outcomes.
