Extended palatoplasty rostral to the tonsils using monopolar electrocautery allowed simultaneous removal of the caudal soft palate together with the stenotic area.

CT scan identified a soft\u2010tissue stricture at the level of the caudal nasopharynx in all cats. Other abnormalities included bilateral rhinitis (n=3), retropharyngeal adenomegaly (n=2), unilateral sinusitis (n=1) and bilateral otitis externa with unilateral otitis media (n=1). Excision of the caudal soft palate and the entire stenotic soft\u2010tissue membrane was successful in all six cats. No pre\u2010, intra\u2010 or postoperative complications were observed. Short\u2010term outcome revealed clinical improvement in all cases. Long\u2010term outcome revealed no recurrence of clinical signs in four cats. In one cat, occasional sneezing was reported.
