Types of Surgery | Description |
---|---|
Partial uvulectomy | This procedure involves removing part of the uvula while leaving some behind. This may be done to reduce snoring or alleviate symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. |
Total Uvulectomy | The full removal of the uvula is generally done for severe snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, or repetitive uvulitis. |
Laser Uvulectomy | Laser technology is used for removing the uvula. This technique is minimally invasive and might have quicker recovery times compared to typical surgical procedures. It’s also beneficial because it’s much more accurate and reduces the risk of blood loss. |
Radiofrequency Uvulectomy | This procedure is a process that includes using radiofrequency energy to shrink as well as remove excess tissue from the uvula. By stiffening the soft palate and uvula, this technique helps reduce snoring and improve one’s obstructive sleep apnea signs. It is usually an outpatient procedure. |
