The author describes abnormalities of the olfactory function following functional and aesthetic surgery of the nose. The abnormalities were temporary and lasted only a few weeks. In seven cases (two patients after septoplasties and five after septorhinoplasties) the author found permanent anosmia (in one case he found the steroid dependent anosmia). The swelling of the nasal mucous membrane in olfactory region is the reason for temporary abnormalities of the smell function. The reason for permanent anosmia after nose surgery remains unknown.
作者描述了鼻部功能性和美容性手术后嗅觉功能的异常情况。这些异常是暂时的，仅持续几周。在7例患者中（2例鼻中隔成形术后患者和5例鼻整形术后患者），作者发现了永久性嗅觉丧失（其中1例为类固醇依赖性嗅觉丧失）。嗅觉区域鼻黏膜的肿胀是嗅觉功能暂时异常的原因。鼻部手术后永久性嗅觉丧失的原因尚不清楚。
