Subjective results after uvulo-palato-pharyngoplasty. The subjective effect of uvulo-palatopharyngoplasty surgery (U.P.P.P.) for snoring was evaluated in 31 patients. Results were obtained following a questionnaire sent to patients after a median follow-up of 10 months, as well as through followup visits. Seventy seven point five percent of the patients and their partners were satisfied with the operation. No major complications were noted. Minor complications included pain, transient pharyngonasal reflux and sensitivity problems of the posterior wall of the pharynx.
