Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (also known by the abbreviations UPPP and UP3) is a surgical procedure or sleep surgery used to remove tissue and/or remodel tissue in the throat. Tissues which may typically be removed include:
* The tonsils
* The adenoids
Tissues which may typically be remodeled include:
* The uvula (see uvulotomy)
* The soft palate
* The pharynx
== How UPPP is administered ==
UPPP involves the removal of the tonsils, followed by removal of the anterior surface of the soft palate and uvula, folding of the uvula toward the soft palate and suturing it together as demonstrated in the figures. In the US, UPPP is the most commonly performed procedure for obstructive sleep apnea, with approximately 33,000 procedures per year. The surgery is more successful in patients who are not obese, and there is a limited role in morbidly obese (>40 kg/m2).
