Partial Uvulectomy

It can be considered after specialist evaluation when an elongated uvula causes persistent foreign body sensation, irritating cough, snoring, or sensitive gag reflex, and conservative treatment has limited effect. The decision will integrate factors such as upper airway structure, whether it is combined with gastroesophageal reflux or nasopharyngeal inflammation, sleep breathing status, and bleeding risk. If it is accompanied by obvious upper airway collapse, it may need to be combined with other palatopharyngeal or nasal treatments.
