Outpatient uvulopalatoplasty is an inexpensive alternative to laser-assisted uvulopalatoplasty for relief of symptomatic snoring. This single-stage procedure successfully reduced snoring in properly selected patients. Patients reported improvement in most cases, with 55% indicating great improvement or complete resolution. Spouses reported 83% of the patients were significantly improved or resolved. To date we have had no complications, including bleeding, infection, or velopharyngeal insufficiency or stenosis. |
