Patients with long Covid regain sense of smell and taste with pioneering surgery

Surgeons believe the technique called functional septorhinoplasty (fSRP) kickstarts' smell recovery in patients

Doctors in London have successfully restored a sense of smell and taste in patients who lost it due to long Covid with pioneering surgery that expands their nasal airways to kickstart their recovery.

Most patients diagnosed with Covid-19 recover fully. But the infectious disease can lead to serious long-term effects. About six in every 100 people who get Covid develop long Covid, with millions of people affected globally, according to the World Health Organization.
