UPPP Surgery Video on The Doctors TV Show

The ENT surgeon did the standard uvulopalatopharyngoplasty procedure for sleep apnea, using a not too new technology. I've been using the plasma device for 8 years for the soft palate and tonsils. The tonsils weren't that big.
He doesn't mention whether or not she tried CPAP first and consider dental devices.
They may have cut off the procedure. At one point, I saw the assistant holding a Somnoplasty device for the tongue base, and I'm assuming that they performed this procedure as well. It's not too exciting to watch, so they probably edited it out.
Hopefully, they'll have her follow-up on the show after her post-op sleep study in 4-6 months.
