Coblation UPPP

Excess tissue in the soft palate and throat can narrow the airway during sleep, leading to loud snoring or obstructive sleep apnea. Using Radiofrequency (Coblation) UPPP removes or reshapes this tissue to widen the airway and improve airflow during sleep. Often combined with Tonsillectomy under GA 

During UPPP, excess tissue from the soft palate and uvula is carefully removed or reshaped to enlarge the airway at the level of the throat. The tonsils may also be removed if present. The remaining tissues are repositioned to create a wider and more stable airway during sleep.

Sore throat and swallowing discomfort are common during the first days after surgery. A soft diet and adequate hydration are recommended during early recovery. Most patients gradually return to normal activities within one to two weeks.

Significant Pain during swallowing and throat discomfort are expected during healing usually last 10-15 days.  Severe pain when combined with Tonsillectomy.

Bleeding, infection, or temporary changes in voice may occur but are uncommon.

In rare cases, persistent swallowing changes or nasal regurgitation may occur. Some patients may continue to require additional treatment for sleep apnea.

Surgery is performed by a consultant ENT surgeon experienced in sleep-related airway surgery.

Careful tissue removal and reconstruction are performed to preserve normal swallowing and speech.

Each patient undergoes careful evaluation of airway anatomy before surgery.

Surgical treatment is integrated with sleep medicine evaluation and follow-up.

Care is delivered in a calm, private clinical environment focused on safety and comfort.
