Olfactory function was measured with Sniffin\u2019 Sticks at the preoperative visit, 2-weeks and 6 to 8\u2009weeks postoperatively.

At 2\u2009weeks, a significant decrease was noted in composite scores (32.3\u2009\u00b1\u20095.4 vs. 23.8\u2009\u00b1\u20095.8, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05) and OT (7.7 vs. 3.2, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05). There was a significant increase in olfactory scores between post-op weeks 2 and 6 to 8\u2009weeks in TDI (23.8 vs. 31.4, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05) as well as in OT (3.2 vs. 7.6, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05), OD (9.4 vs. 11.1, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05), and OI (11.1 vs. 12.7, P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05).
