UPPP Surgery in Dubai | Sleep Apnea Surgeon | Dr Muhammad Jabbrg
UPPP surgery (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) is one of the most effective surgical procedures for treating obstructive sleep apnea and severe snoring caused by soft palate and throat airway obstruction.
Airway collapse at the soft palate level is one of the most common causes of sleep apnea in Dubai patients.
Dr. Muhammad Jabbr, Consultant ENT & Sleep Apnea Surgeon in Dubai, performs advanced airway surgery including UPPP to permanently improve airway stability, eliminate obstruction, and restore normal breathing during sleep.
UPPP is a proven surgical solution for patients with CPAP intolerance or persistent airway obstruction.
What is UPPP Surgery?
UPPP (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes and reshapes obstructing tissues in the throat to widen the airway.
The procedure improves airflow by correcting obstruction at:
- Soft palate
- Uvula
- Tonsillar region
- Pharyngeal airway
This reduces airway collapse during sleep.
How UPPP Treats Sleep Apnea
During sleep apnea, soft tissues collapse and block airflow.
UPPP works by:
- Enlarging airway space
- Reducing tissue obstruction
- Stabilizing soft palate
- Preventing airway collapse
This significantly improves breathing and reduces apnea events.
