Background and Objectives.
Nasal obstruction due to deviated nasal septum is a common problem bringing a patient to an otorhinolaryngologist.
Occasionally, these patients may also complain of olfactory impairment.
We proposed to study the effect of septal deviation on the lateralised olfactory function and the change in olfaction after surgery of the septum (septoplasty).
Methods.
Forty-one patients with deviated nasal septum were evaluated for nasal airflow, olfactory score, and nasal symptomatology.
Septoplasty was done under local anesthesia.
Pre- and postoperative olfactory scores, airflow and olfactory scores, and nasal symptomatology and olfactory scores were compared and correlated.
Results.
The range of preoperative composite olfactory score (COS) on the side of septal deviation was 4–14 (mean 7.90±2.234) and on the nonobstructed side was 9–18 (mean 14.49±2.378).
Severity of deviated nasal septum and preoperative COS of diseased side were correlated and the correlation was found to be significant (rho = −0.690, p=0.000 (<0.001)).
The preoperative mean COS (7.90±2.234) was compared with the postoperative mean COS (12.39±3.687) and the improvement was found to be statistically significant (p=0.000 (<0.001)).
Conclusion.
We found improvement in olfactory function in 70.6% patients after surgery, no change in 20.1%, and reduced function in 7.6%.
With the limitation of a small sample size and a potential repeat testing bias, we would conclude that correction of nasal septal deviation may lead to improvement in sense of smell.
