Comparison of postoperative pain scores and dysphagia between anterior palatoplasty and uvulopalatal flap surgeries.

Since the success rates of surgical interventions to the soft palate are similar, preferring surgical approaches with a less damage to the life quality of patients after operations is more rational. In this regard, AP, which is technically quite simple with a short operation time and fewer postoperative complaints affecting life quality such as pain or dysphagia may be preferred in selected patients with OSA.
