In patients with good intra-operative preservation of the chorda tympani nerve, there was significant improvement in gustatory function one month post-operatively, compared with the pre-operative baseline. In patients who sustained intra-operative chorda tympani nerve injury, one month post-operative gustatory function was the same as the pre-operative baseline.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0022215112000497_sec4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Middle-ear surgery for chronic otitis media not only treats the ear but also improves gustatory function in the majority of patients.
