Deficiency of sweet sense was the most common type of TD (80%). The use of electrocautery for developing the uvulopalatal flap was the only significant predictor that may attribute to TD (odds ratio: 14.1). Repeating the GFT 9\u00a0months after operation showed a restoration of tastes in 4 patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Development of the uvulopalatal flap using electrocautery may increase the likelihood of postoperative TD.
