Diseases of the nasal cavity	2019-10-08		.txt	text/plain	10688	505	30	Though a postoperative reduction in olfactory ability may infrequently occur following sinonasal surgery, over 10% of patients may report a smell loss preoperatively, prompting a need to document this fact to avoid postoperative accusations of a surgical complication (Briner et al., 2003) . These two surgical approaches were the subject of a comparative analysis in a prospectively recruited patient cohort undergoing pituitary surgery, wherein olfaction was objectively evaluated preoperatively in addition to 1 and 6 months postoperatively. Furthermore, statistically significant changes both in three-dimensional volume and cross-sectional nasal passage dimensions observed in patients undergoing an endoscopic transphenoidal approach have not been shown to correlate with a corresponding decline in olfactory function (Kim et al., 2016a, b) . A neurosensorial mechanism of smell loss in CRS for which surgical palliation of the nasal airway following ESS fails to improve olfactory function resonates clinically in those patients. The predictive value of the preoperative sinonasal outcome test-22 score in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery for chronic rhinosinusitis	./cache/cord-347905-w0fnc43a.txt	./txt/cord-347905-w0fnc43a.txt
