title: Surgical management of chemosensory disorders.
abstract: As additional understanding of the histopathologic basis of chemosensory dysfunction has been achieved, several actual and potential surgical approaches for correction have been devised. These currently include correction of steroid-dependent anosmia and hyposmia due to septal deviation. Posttraumatic anosmia might be correctable in the future. Surgical approaches to dysgeusia are sparse, probably due to a paucity of information on the causes of this disorder.
