None could clarify frequency, time course, or prognosis of long\u2010lasting dysgeusia after tonsillectomy. The aim of the study was to provide a symptom\u2010based follow\u2010up after tonsillectomy to assess postoperative taste disorders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Study Design:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Prospective clinical trial.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>From December 2007 to June 2009 adult patients undergoing tonsillectomy were asked to take part in the trial. Two hundred twenty\u2010three patients (119 female, 104 male; mean age, 33 \u00b1 13 years) were included. The day prior to surgery, and 2 weeks and 6 months after tonsillectomy a standardized questionnaire was completed by patients. The questionnaire focused on taste function, taste disorders, pain, foreign body sensation, and bleeding episodes after tonsillectomy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred eighty\u2010eight (2 weeks) and 181 (6 months) patients returned the questionnaires. Thirty\u2010two percent (n = 60) of patients reported taste disorders after tonsillectomy 2 weeks postoperatively and 15 patients (8%) at 6\u2010month follow\u2010up. Metallic and bitter parageusia were most frequently reported. The mean ratings of gustatory function were significantly lower 2 weeks after surgery (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001) and reached preoperative values 6 months after surgery. Almost 30% of patients reported postoperative bleeding, 10% long\u2010lasting postoperative pain, and 20% foreign body sensation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Long\u2010lasting taste disturbance (metallic and bitter parageusia) after tonsillectomy is more frequent than previously reported. Long\u2010lasting pain and foreign body sensation seem to be common symptoms. With regard to these results, a thorough preoperative explanation is mandatory.
