This procedure removes the uvula, the small piece of soft tissue that hangs down at the back of the throat. It may be done to treat snoring or airway obstruction, to remove tissue affected by a growth or chronic swelling, or as part of treatment for certain throat conditions. It is typically performed under anesthesia through the mouth, without any external incision.
