Although one must be careful to separate the medial part of tonsils from the uvula.. If adhered completely dissect along the plane thereby preserving the anterior part of uvula & then suture the lateral aspects creating neouvula. Endoscopic view of nasopharynx on table would not be a bad idea to check & remove the adenoids if hypertrophied...
