Surgeons at University College London Hospitals have pioneered a surgical technique to restore the sense of smell and taste in long Covid patients who have lost these senses for over two years. Out of a study aimed at addressing long-term Covid symptoms, functional septorhinoplasty was used on patients who had previously failed treatments. By increasing airflow to the olfactory region, the surgery allowed more odorants to reach this area, leading to significant recovery in smell perception, according to the research team's findings.
Doctors in London have successfully restored a sense of smell and taste in long Covid patients through pioneering surgery that expands their nasal airways, improving their recovery.
Surgeons at University College London Hospitals cured a dozen patients suffering profound losses of smell after Covid-19 by using functional septorhinoplasty to improve airflow to the olfactory region.
