Rhinological outcomes
We quantified the recovery of nasal mucosa 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgery using he Lund-Kenney endoscopic scoring system. At 6 months, we performed SNOT-22, which was already validated as an effective tool to monitor nasal symptoms after endoscopic skull base surgery.11 Also, we repeated TIBSITĀ® and classified the olfactory status according to the normative values for different age and gender groups.12
