What Are The Side Effects Of Partial Uvula Removal?
Hi, I have a small growth on my uvula and I am due to have surgery to have it removed, the DR said it is very common and it is some sort of a skin tag? Should I ask for it to be tested after removal or should I just trust him? Also what side effects does partial uvula removal entail?

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
After going through your question, I would recommend you to take a second opinion if you are not able to trust your doctor. You can also ask him to send the specimen for excisional biopsy to keep you clear off all the doubts.
As you are saying its an overgrowth on uvula, so you wont face any side effects as you are only removing extra tissue.
Hope my answer will help you.
