The goal of this study is to assess changes in olfaction after septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction through both objective and patient\u2010reported measures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Prospective, observational study was conducted of patients with nasal airway obstruction presenting between July 2017 and October 2019 who underwent septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction. Nasal airflow was characterized with the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale and an 11\u2010point ease\u2010of\u2010breathing (EOB) Likert scale, and olfaction with an 11\u2010point olfactory Likert scale and the 40\u2010item University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), pre\u2010 and postoperatively. Pearson correlations were used to assess the relationship between measures of nasal obstruction and olfaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among 80 patients, mean NOSE scores improved from 67.4 preoperatively to 19.6 postoperatively (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). EOB Likert scores improved from a mean of 3.9\/10 to 8.1\/10 after surgery (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). Olfactory Likert scores improved from a baseline of 6.1\/10 preoperatively to 7.9\/10 after surgery (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). No statistically significant difference was noted in UPSIT testing pre\u2010 versus postoperatively. A moderate correlation was noted between the degree of change in NOSE scores and improved olfactory Likert scores (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.51, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), and similarly between the degree of change in EOB Likert scores and improved olfactory Likert scores (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.55, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt; 0.0001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Based on our data, subjective tests of olfaction may improve with nasal airway surgery in some patients.
