Abstract

Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty is widely used to treat obstructive sleep apnea, and many techniques are described in the literature. However, complications and failures remain a problem. We describe a new imbrication technique that reduces pain, minimizes bleeding, and serves to realign muscle tension, thereby reducing palatal bulk. The imbrication technique has become the standard procedure at our clinic.
