HOW IS SMALL TONGER SURGERY (UVULECTOMY) DONE?
Minor tongue surgery (Uvulectomy) is based on shortening the uvula. It can be performed under local or general anesthesia depending on the situation. For this, the tip of the small tongue is cut off. In some cases, after the tip of the small tongue is cut, the remaining part is folded backwards and sewn.
Rarely, bleeding may occur.
AFTER SMALL LANGUAGE SURGERY (UVULECTOMY)
The effects of minor tongue surgery (Uvulectomy) disappear within 3 days. If there is snoring or sleep apnea before the operation, improvement begins in the first month following the operation. Swelling in the uvula may last for 1 month.
