Understanding UPPP in the Indian Context
UPPP reshapes the soft palate to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea in patients who struggle with CPAP. Ajuda leverages DISE to ensure only palate-dominant collapses undergo surgery, securing better outcomes.
When to Consult Our UPPP Team
⚠️ Seek urgent care if:
- ✓ Severe daytime sleepiness causes accidents
- ✓ Blood pressure remains uncontrolled despite medication
- ✓ Bed partner notices long pauses in breathing
Consider UPPP when DISE confirms palate collapse and conservative therapy fails.
Our Diagnostic Approach
1️⃣ Sleep Study Review Assess severity, oxygen drops, and sleepiness levels.
2️⃣ Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy Identify collapse pattern; confirm palate dominance.
3️⃣ Airway Imaging CT or cephalometry for multi-level obstruction or revision cases.
4️⃣ Surgical Planning Select technique, discuss recovery, and align lifestyle goals.
Treatment Pathways
Ajuda performs classic UPPP, expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty, and combined tonsillectomy when required. Coblation tools minimise pain while preserving speech function.
What to Expect: Your Care Journey
- Pre-op Week: Labs, CPAP review, nutrition counselling.
- Surgery Week: UPPP under general anesthesia; 1-2 nights observation.
- Week 2: Pain subsides; shift from soft to normal diet.
- Month 3: Repeat sleep study to confirm success and adjust therapy.
Technology & Innovation
Coblation, nerve monitoring, and DISE integration deliver targeted, safe palate surgery. Dieticians and sleep coaches manage lifestyle factors post-op.
