First seen Feb 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study looks at 80 people having brain tumor surgery through the nose to see if using a scalpel instead of a heat-based tool (cautery) helps preserve their sense of smell. The surgeons will measure smell ability before and after surgery using a simple test and a questionnaire. The goal is to find the best way to protect smell while still performing the operation safely.
