UPP has been around for years. It works. Since I no longer belong to the American College of Chest Physicians, I have no idea why this suddenly made Front Page news out of their meeting.

DC, if your problem is just snoring, resist the impulse to have anything surgical done. I've had several friends have the laser version of this procedure. It worked, but they could only eat liquids for about a month while the carnage in the back of their throat healed.

I thought it odd myself............

This is a new study, which acknowledges UPPP has been around since the 80’s, and has/will be published soon is all. And you are right, it comes from their annual meeting in which many studies and presentations were made.

I heard of one procedure where they insert plastic strips into the soft palate to stiffen it. The procedures where they either cook or freeze the tissue seem kinda silly and possibly risky to me.
