Why have UPPP done in China specifically?

China offers UPPP at a significantly lower cost—approximately $5,500—compared to $10,000–$20,000 in the U.S. or Western Europe, without compromising on quality. Chinese ENT surgeons, especially in major academic hospitals, perform high volumes of sleep surgery, leading to refined techniques and lower complication rates. Facilities are equipped with modern technology, including drug-induced sleep endoscopy and robotic-assisted options, and many international patient departments provide seamless coordination for travel and follow-up.
