Background: The olfactory cleft (OC) is the most important anatomical site for the maintenance of olfactory function. Obstruction of airflow in the OC by various conditions, such as inflammation, leads to poor olfactory function. Therefore, it is important to increase OC airflow while performing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS). However, no technique to increase airflow has yet been established.We designed a superior turbinate lateralization (STL) procedure that displaces the entire ST bone laterally by eliminating the connection between the posterior ST and the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. The effect of the STL procedure was investigated in terms of anatomy and olfactory function.ESS with the STL procedure was performed on seven patients with chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyps. The cross-sectional area of the OC at 3 months postoperatively was significantly larger than that before ESS. In addition, the Open Essence test and questionnaires revealed significantly improvements in sense of smell. Airflow in the OC was significantly higher in STL procedure group than in the non-STL procedure group.The STL procedure enlarges the bony framework of the OC, and by increasing OC airflow, facilitates the transport of odorants to the olfactory epithelium, thereby improving olfactory perception.Methods: The olfactory cleft (OC) is the most important anatomical site for the maintenance of olfactory function.

- Abstract
Objective: Most patients with olfactory dysfunction experience stress and anxiety because of the inconvenience and changes caused by the loss of olfaction. However, psychological assessment is not performed routinely in patients with olfactory dysfunction, and the characteristics of these patients with psychological depression are unclear.In this study, we used the Self-rating Depression Scale to evaluate the degree of depression in patients who visited our clinic with olfactory dysfunction and examine the characteristics of these patients with strong depressive tendencies. Patients who visited our clinic between April 2019 and March 2020 with complaints of olfactory dysfunction were included in the study.A total of 180 patients (79 male and 101 female) underwent olfactory examination and completed the Self-rating Depression Scale. Eighty-six and 94 patients were included in the low depression and high depression groups, respectively. Binomial logistic regression analysis showed significant positive associations of Self-rating Depression Scale scores with female sex and the presence of parosmia/phantosmia (p < 0.05).In our study, approximately half of the patients with olfactory dysfunction had depressive tendencies especially in female and parosmia/phantosmia patients. We believe that psychological assessments, such as that with the SDS, can help identify patients with olfactory dysfunction who may be at a greater risk of developing depression.Methods: Most patients with olfactory dysfunction experience stress and anxiety because of the inconvenience and changes caused by the loss of olfaction.
