Effect of preservation versus resection of turbinate on olfactory function in endoscopic trans-nasal trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis involving 235 patients examined olfaction score changes over various time frames in trans-nasal trans-sphenoidal pituitary surgeries. No significant differences were observed between turbinate preservation and resection groups at one month, three months, or six months post-surgery.PMID:38467610 | DOI:10.1080/01616412.2024.2328493
