[Impact of Microsurgical Exstirpation of XXXX on the Sense of Taste].

@entity1 @entity5513 @entity5
UNASSIGNED: @entity1 with single sided @entity5513 may report about a taste dysfunction apart from the well known cardinal symptoms. Very few data are published so far on that topic. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of microsurgery for @entity5513 on taste perception prospectively using a well validated taste test. 25 @entity1 could be included in the study. No ageusia was claimed by the @entity1 . In average a decrease of the taste score postoperatively could be detected on the @entity5 as well as on the non treated side. The differences were not statistically significant. But a subgroup of    of the subjects revealed a new onset of side difference in the taste score that was not present before surgery. In all those cases the treated side showed a clinically significant reduced taste score of 6,2 in average. Within this subgroup the temporal access was overpresented in contrast to the whole group. This may indicate an influence of the choosen approach and that for the position of the @entity5 to the change of the taste score. The observations should be verified on a greater collective.
