Abstract: Objective： To explore the effect of the modified uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) preserving the uvula. Methods： Twentyeight patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS)who had been confirmed by PSG in our hospital from 2003 to 2005 were involved in this study. The modified UPPP preserving the uvula completely was taken under general anaesthesia. Results： The preserved uvula contracted 2 weeks after the UPPP. The pharyngeal cavity behaved young 3 months after operation. No vulopalatal insufficiency occurred. The response rate was 100% based on the questionnaire investigation and PSG detection. Conclusion： The modified UPPP is more effective for OSAS than the normal UPPP by increasing the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal cavity and avoiding vulopalatal insufficiency.
