ABSTRACT
A foreign body sensation or a globus symptom of the throat after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is caused by an internal scar formation and such symptoms generally disappear in 9 months after surgery. In rare cases, this sensation could be permanent. If this condition persists, possible primary treatment could be multiple stage steroid injection into the affected site for softening of the submucosal fibrous formation. But rotational or advancement mucosal flaps could be effective if the steroid injection does not work. We present a case of scar contracture of oral mucosa after UPPP was corrected with Z-plasty and mucosal tissue graft.
