Pasos del Procedimiento

Pre-op: drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) + polysomnography + Friedman staging

Multidisciplinary OSA evaluation (failed/intolerant CPAP)

General anesthesia + nasal intubation

Tonsillectomy + uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (palate reshaping)

Optional: lingual tonsillectomy + tongue-base reduction (multilevel surgery)

Hemostasis + soft palate suspension if needed

Painful recovery managed with multimodal analgesia

Repeat PSG at 3-6 months to assess AHI improvement

What is UPPP?

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgically widens the upper airway by removing the tonsils and reshaping the soft palate and uvula. For carefully selected patients with retropalatal obstruction, it can significantly reduce sleep apnea severity when CPAP is not tolerated.

Why China?

Cost: $3,500-$6,500 vs. $10,000-$25,000 in the US
DISE-guided selection: Drug-induced sleep endoscopy improves patient selection
Multilevel approach: Combined palate + tongue-base + maxillomandibular advancement available
Hypoglossal nerve stimulator: Inspire device available at select centers

Who is a candidate?

Moderate-severe OSA (AHI ≥15) intolerant or refusing CPAP
Friedman stage I-II (palate-level obstruction confirmed)
BMI <32 (better outcomes)
Tonsil hypertrophy or elongated soft palate

Outcomes

Surgical success (AHI <20 + 50% reduction): 35-50% UPPP alone, 60-70% multilevel. Cure (AHI <5): 15-25%. Significant snoring reduction: 80-90%. Pain: severe for 2-3 weeks.
