Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is a surgical procedure used to treat severe snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) by removing or reshaping excess tissue in the throat, including parts of the soft palate, uvula, and pharynx. This helps widen the airway, improve airflow, and reduce breathing interruptions during sleep. At Ajuda Hospital, we offer advanced UPPP surgery with a focus on safety, precision, and long-term relief.
Our experienced ENT and sleep specialists provide comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans to ensure the best outcomes for patients with sleep-related breathing disorders.
