HCPCS 42145
Palatopharyngoplasty (eg, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, uvulopharyngoplasty)
AI EXPLANATION: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty, commonly known as UPPP surgery, is an outpatient surgical procedure designed to open and widen the airway in the throat. During the operation, a surgeon removes or reshapes excess tissue from the back of the throat and mouth, including the uvula, portions of the soft palate, and sometimes the tonsils. By widening this passage, the procedure helps reduce airway blockages and tissue vibration during sleep.
