Does bilateral inferior turbinate reduction affect long-term quality-of-life outcomes in patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) often results in decreased olfaction. In this study, we examined the relationship between nasal polyp location and olfactory airflow and odorant transport changes using virtual nasal polyp models at different locations and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) a...
