The aim of this study was to systematically review the alterations in smell and taste functions in individuals who underwent total laryngectomy, as well as to identify in the literature some aspects involved in the evaluation of these functions in this population. We performed a systematic review on the databases Medline, LILACS and SciELO, and this data search occurred in October/2010. The search used keywords and free terms, and retrieved 84 articles, 79 from Medline, via Pubmed, and five form LILACS and SciELO. Sixteen of these articles were selected. Most studies in this review attested decline in sensory of smell and taste functions in individuals who underwent total laryngectomy and, although there is consensus regarding the damage caused to these functions by the nasal airflow interruption, it is not yet possible to evidence details in the mechanisms and structures involved, especially regarding the modifications in the olfactory mucous.
本研究的目的是系统评价全喉切除患者嗅觉和味觉功能的改变，并在文献中确定该人群中这些功能评估所涉及的一些方面。我们对Medline、LILACS和SciELO数据库进行了系统评价，数据检索于2010年10月进行。检索使用了关键词和自由词，共检索到84篇文章，其中79篇来自通过Pubmed检索的Medline，5篇来自LILACS和SciELO。从中筛选出16篇文章。本综述中的大多数研究证实，全喉切除患者的嗅觉和味觉功能感觉下降，尽管对于鼻气流中断对这些功能造成的损害已达成共识，但尚无法阐明所涉及的机制和结构细节，尤其是嗅觉黏膜的改变。
