Partial uvulectomy is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and is suitable for those with uvula hypertrophy and irritating symptoms. Under visualization, the doctor selectively trims the soft tissue of the uvula according to individual anatomy. Cold instruments, radiofrequency, or electrocautery can be used to complete the resection, coagulate small blood vessels, and reshape the wound edges, while trying to preserve palatopharyngeal function. Postoperative monitoring includes airway patency, swallowing, and bleeding. Symptomatic pain relief and nursing care are provided. The goal is to reduce irritating symptoms and maintain vocalization and swallowing coordination. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
Combining preoperative evaluation, surgery, and follow-up, it is recommended to stay in China for about 7–12 days. The actual itinerary is subject to hospital arrangements.
