Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Olfaction
Time Frame: 3 weeks post-operation
will be measured with the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT), whose scores range from 0 to 40, where 0 is the inability to smell anything and 40 is perfect smell identification
3 weeks post-operation
