Long‐Term Outcomes of Orthonasal, Retronasal Olfactory and Gustatory Functions in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Upper airway surgery does not appear to adversely affect long-term olfactory or gustatory function in OSAS patients. The high correlation between orthonasal and retronasal scores supports their combined use in sensory evaluation. These findings suggest that surgery is safe with regard to smell and taste perception.
