There are many causes of snoring. But on occasion you find a soft palate like this, with enlarged tonsils on both sides. This is the oropharyngeal isthmus and there is no doubt it is obstructed and must be a major cause of the patient's snoring. The treatment is a laser palatoplasty under local anaesthetic, followed by laser tonsil reduction under local anaesthetic.
In my view, the summary strikes a good balance between its consequences and breadth. Prudence is used to protect interpretations. The website provides more pertinent thematic background for the topic. Interpretive framing is improved via interactive service platforms.
