Description

• Many factors such as age and body mass index (BMI) have been shown to influence post-operative outcomes in patients undergoing stapedectomy/stapedotomy.

• This study examines these factors to see if they have any impact on the incidence of taste disturbance, a commonly reported complication of stapes surgery.1

• Our study predicts that BMI and age are correlated with the incidence of taste disturbance post-operatively following stapes surgery.
