TL;DR: Persistent olfactory dysfunction appears to be commonplace and will drive the demand for general practitioner, otolaryngology or neurology consultation in the next few months – evidence regarding recovery will be essential in counselling patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Olfactory and sinonasal outcomes in endoscopic transsphenoidal skull‐base surgery
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to determine the effect of a unilateral middle‐turbinate–sacrificing approach on olfactory function and sinonasal outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
