Do you get a general anaesthetic for surgery in removla of uvula?

Yes, general anesthesia is typically used for uvula removal surgery, known as uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP). This allows the patient to be unconscious and pain-free during the procedure. In some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be used, but general anesthesia is more common for this type of surgery to ensure comfort and safety. Always consult with your healthcare provider for specific recommendations based on individual circumstances.
